Ruling on a man praying with his head uncovered
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says, “O His Eminence the Shaykh: What is the ruling on a man praying with his head uncovered? Is covering the head obligatory at all times?”
Answer:
There is no blame on him for that. If he prays with his head uncovered, there is no blame on him. A man is like one who prays in the state of ihram with his head uncovered; there is no blame on him. However, if he covers his head and takes his adornment, that is better, due to the saying of the Exalted and Majestic: [Al-A'raf: 31], meaning: at every prayer.
If he covers his head, that is better. And if he uncovers his head and sees that it makes him more alert in his prayer, there is no blame in that, just as one in the state of ihram prays with his head uncovered.

O children of Adam, take your adornment at every masjid
