Assalamu Alaikum!
Mufti Sahib, Is it Sunnat to wear a cap or no? Is it Sunnat or Wajib to recite the Sana in Namaz? Is it necessary or not to recite Sana in Fard Namaz?
In the name of Allah, The Beneficent, The Merciful
Wearing cap or turban is among the personal practices of Holy prophetﷺ, although on certain occasions he did forgo this practice. However, it is against the Sunna to perform Namaz bareheaded without a valid/legal excuse, hence, it is necessary to refrain from doing such. As for reciting of Sana, it is not Fard or Wajib, however, is among the Sunnah elements of Namaz. Therefore, one should recite it in the first Rakat of every Namaz, regardless of whether it is Fard or Sunnat Namaz.
And Allah knows best.
