Muslims do not wear kippot; this a Jewish practice. However, Muslims have a similar skullcap called a taaqiya (طاقية) -- which should not be confused with taqiyya (تقية), referring to faith denial by Shiite Muslims. The taaqiya is not necessary, but it is recommended since Muhammad wore a skullcap.
