🕌 Core Principles of Muslim Clothing (Modesty in Islam)
Islamic dress is primarily guided by the concept of modesty (ḥayāʾ), as found in the Qur'an and Hadith. While styles vary, modesty is key for both men and women.
✅ General Guidelines:
For women: Cover the body (except face, hands, and sometimes feet), with loose-fitting clothing. The hijab (headscarf) is common.
For men: Cover from the navel to the knees; clothing should not be tight or transparent.
