الجواب حامدا و مصلیا

It is necessary to cover the head while performing Salath either with a cap or turban. Except for some instances such as in Haj and Umrah, this has been always the continuous practice of Nabi Sallallahu Alaihi wa Sallam. Therefore, without any reason, performing Salath leaving the head uncovered due to Indolence and laziness or following the fashion of modern age, is Makrooh since the Sunnah is left out. Hence, it is not correct to find evidence from the practice of some ignorant Arabs to leave away the aforementioned Sunnah, rather it is an act based on ignorance, abstinence from which is incumbent.
