Features In Modest Islamic Clothing

By Dorothy Walker


Islam is the second most popular religion and the most practiced culture in the world. Just like any other religions and cultures, it has its own rules in the way its member way of clothing. This practice varies in different subgroups. Some are very strict with both female and male attires whereas others are more concerned with women than men. Detailed below are facts about modest Islamic clothing that one should consider.

Men are supposed to check on haram practices. Anything against their teaching is regarded as haram. Men, in particular, are required to avoid silvers and silk which are meant to be worn by females as decorations. Their underneath attires should be done tailored above their ankles. Having them at that position indicates their humility since they will not be easily soiled. It is believed one who intends to soil their clothing does this out of pride knowing they have different garments to change to.

Clothing is done with the right intentions, and there must be no imitation of other members. It is against sharia laws to put on attire which depicts wealth or undermines your fellow brother capabilities to afford a similar garment. One is expected not to imitate non-Islam or wear something similar to the female believers.

Every woman is required to hide most of their body part. One cannot expose their body apart from their hands or head, but this can differ depending with factions. This should particularly be observed in the presence of non-Muslims. Traditional attire is regarded to be black to avoid seeing through the material. Lenient members consider any color as long it is not a see me through the material and does not show the appearance of their body.

Their head dress varies with different groups. Traditional groups make use of the niqab and the burka. A niqab is a head cover which exposes the eyes whereas a burka completely covers the head and the woman can only see through grills or mesh set above the eyes. Modern Muslims have simplified this to a simple head scarf which exposes their face. A chador, on the other hand, is an extended cloak covering the head but exposing their face altogether.

There are no defined rules regarding their underneath dress, but one is simply expected to cover their body parts. One can only expose their bodies to their close male relatives and children who are have not yet reached their puberty. This consideration is strictly meant for females and males within non-Muslim members.

These regulations have been varied depending on culture mixture and state laws despite their strictness. Most of the western nations are against some expectations and have banned them. The burka is highly disregarded to conceal one identity by exposing her face. This has been considered for security measures since criminal impersonate this to hide their identity. The few Muslims who have been married to different cultures tend to adopt their new regulations as well.

Change of their fashion does not mean they have completely adopted the western culture. They have only adjusted their fashion in a manner that it still maintains its expectation. Men wear simple but decent western clothing with which identifies them as Muslim. Most women have maintained the traditional head cover with scarfs, but they can afford to wear a loose, casual wear which is equally relevant to the regulations.
