Question
Hello, Is there an obligation according to the law to pray the Amidah with a hat and suit? Where is this mentioned in the Shulchan Aruch? And how should a person act if they are at work and do not have them?
Answer
Hello
It is explained in Siman 91 that one should dress before prayer as one dresses before great people.
When there is no hat and suit, one should wrap in a tallit.
