# One should wear a Kippah that’s recognizable from all sides (front, back, and sides), but from Midat Chasidut one should wear one that covers majority or the entire head, especially when one is saying [[ | # One should wear a Kippah that’s recognizable from all sides (front, back, and sides), but from Midat Chasidut one should wear one that covers majority or the entire head, especially when one is saying [[Kriyat Shema]], [[Shemoneh Esrei]], and Birkat HaMazon. <ref> Halacha Brurah 2:12 (quoting Sh”t Otzrot Yosef 1:4e), Sh"t Yechave Daat 4:1. Pri Megadim A”A 2:6 and Sh”t Elef Lecha Shlomo O”C 3 differentiate between a complete head covering which is a Midat Chasidut and a partial head covering which is an obligation. However, Sh”t Igrot Moshe O”C 1 argues on this distinction and adds that perhaps one can make such a distinction within the opinion of the Taz. Sh”t Otzrot Yosef 1:5 adds there’s an added concern by [[Kriyat Shema]], Shemona Esrah, and [[Birkat HaMazon]] as in Mishna Brurah 91:9 (concerning Shema) and Brachot 51a (concerning Birkat HaMazon). </ref> | ||
# A kippah with holes in it is an acceptable Kippah. <Ref> S”A 91:4 based on Sh”t Trumat HaDeshen 10 says that even a straw head covering is acceptable. Sh”t Chatam Sofer 6:2 (quoted by Halacha Brurah 2:14) says that this permits even Kippah’s made with holes in them. </ref> | # A kippah with holes in it is an acceptable Kippah. <Ref> S”A 91:4 based on Sh”t Trumat HaDeshen 10 says that even a straw head covering is acceptable.

# If someone is wearing a wig with which there is a cloth underneath that’s not visible to the outside, there’s a dispute whether it counts as a Kippah or not. It’s preferable to be strict especially during Tefilah and while making Brachot. <Ref> Pachad Yitzchak (20 D”H Kama Chasif, 80 D”H Peirukanu), Olot HaTamid 2, Sh”t Levushei Mordechai (Tanina O”C 108) say that Marit HaAyin applies to Kipah and so one should wear a Kippah on top of the wig. Maamer Mordechai 91:6 says limits it to Tefilah and Brachot. However Mekor Chaim 2:6, Hagahot Rabbi Akiva Eiger 91, and Artzot HaChaim (2, Meir LeAretz 54) argue that there’s no issue of Marit Ayin since Kippah is only a Midat Chasidut to start with. Mishna Brurah 2:12 quotes the dispute without ruling on the topic. Sh”t Chaim Shaal 2:35(1) writes that one should wear it because of Minhag. Halacha Brurah 2:15 quotes the dispute and says it’s preferable to be strict especially during Tefilah and Brachot. </ref> | # If someone is wearing a wig with which there is a cloth underneath that’s not visible to the outside, there’s a dispute whether it counts as a Kippah or not.
