Question

Does praying your salaah without a hat (topi) make the salaah Wajib Ul I'adah?

Answer

In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

As-salāmu ‘alaykum wa-rahmatullāhi wa-barakātuh.

It is Makrooh to perform Salah without a Topi. However, praying Salat without a Topi does not make the Salat Wājib al-I’ādah.[1]

And Allah Ta’āla Knows Best
