AL-KAFI #32 : TATACARA PEMAKAIAN SERBAN
Is it true that wearing a turban like a headscarf, with both ends of the cloth hanging down, is disliked during prayer, and how should a turban be worn?
Short answer
The respondent states not knowing the basis of the claim that wearing a turban like a headscarf during prayer is disliked, so no ruling is given on it.

Summary
The respondent states not knowing the basis of the claim that wearing a turban like a headscarf during prayer is disliked, so no ruling is given on it. The answer instead cites al-Shamail al-Muhammadiyyah on the Prophet's turban: black at the conquest of Mecca and white as his habit, wound around the head, with a tail let down between the shoulders. Zaad al-Ma'ad describes its size as moderate, Futuhat Rabbaniyyah gives its length as 7 cubits, and the tail is advised to be no longer than one cubit.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Minta maaf, saya tidak mengetahui akan hakikat ini tetapi di dalam kitab al-Syamail al-Muhammadiyyah karya Imam al-Turmuzi menyebut berkenaan dengan serban Rasulullah ﷺ.
