If a naked person cannot cover himself with trees while praying, is it obligatory for him to cover his private parts with them?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Okay, like trees, meaning he can cover himself with the branches of trees, is it obligatory for him?

The Shaykh : The scholars say it is not obligatory for him to use trees that harm him or cause him damage. A moment, my brother. If they cause him harm, it is not obligatory for him. For example, if there are only thorny acacia trees or similar around him, he can cover himself with them, but if they do not harm him, like a pumpkin plant, then Allah said regarding Adam and Eve:
and they began to fasten together over themselves from the leaves of Paradise وطفقا يخصفان عليهما من ورق الجنة
[Al-A'raf 7:22]
Yes, Khalid?
