Question
- Can any sort of hat be a Topi? E.g. woolly hat, pompom hat, cap, designer hat, winter hat that covers ears, hat with a turn up?
- Does wearing any hat mean one has accomplished the Sunnah?
- If one doesn’t have a hat and wears his hood in salaat is this alright and do you get the reward for covering your head?
Answer
- Hats that are worn by the saliheen are the best.
- The aim is to cover the head in a suitable manner.
- I hope so – we do get the Moroccan jubbahs which have hoods on them; you can cover your head with it. However it is best to wear the libaas of the saliheen.
