Question:
Asalaamualaikum.
If I am at home and the adhaan is on the radio is it compulsory that I cover my head with anything available, regardless of whether my hair will be covered or not?
Thank You
Answer:
wa `alaykum salam,
It is not obligatory to cover your head when you hear the call for prayer. However, it is praiseworthy as it is an expression of respect for the adhan.
