Quotes to remember

11. It was narrated that Abu Hanifa said to Dawud al-Taa’i, “Why do you prefer seclusion?” Dawud replied, “To struggle against myself to leave disputing.” Abu Hanifah said, “Attend meetings, listen to what is said, and remain silent.” Dawud said, “I have done so, but I have found nothing heavier than this.”

Wearing a head covering during the Prayer

 


Question:

Is wearing a turban, a headscarf or a cap in prayer obligatory or not?
Answer:

The wearing of these things in prayer is not obligatory since covering the head is not from the conditions of the prayer. However, if you are in a land where the custom is to wear these, and they are regarded from the completion of a person's dress, then it is necessary to wear them due to the saying of Allaah, "O Children of Aadam, take your adornment while praying." [al-A'raaf: 31]
So if part of beautification is that a person wears something on his head such as a turban, a headscarf or a cap, then it is recommended for him to wear that during the prayer. As for when you are in a land of a people who do not have this as a custom, and this is not from their beautification then stay as you are.
