Islamic dress is influenced and guided by two vices, the Qur'an and the Hadith. The Qur'an provides guiding principles given from the world of Allah, whereas the Hadith serves as the human role model conveyed through the traditions of the Prophet Muhammad. It is important to note that the phrase "Islamic clothing" holds a different meaning in today's society than the phrase "Islamic fashion". Currently, Islamic fashion refers to the need to blend current fashion trends with traditional Islamic culture and clothing expectations.

According to the Qur'an, both men and women should dress in ways that are halaal, meaning permissible, throughout their lives.

It is also mentioned in the Qur'an that it is haraam for men to wear clothing articles made of silk or animal skinned that has not been tanned. Conversely, men are permitted to wear anything made of wool, camel hair, or goat hair. It is explicitly taught that men should not wear clothing that is see-through or that doesn't cover body parts that are considered intimate, known as ‘awrah. Lastly, it is not halaal for men to wear clothing that is similar to or imitates clothing that a woman would wear.

Additionally, on May 16th 2019, the Austrian parliament placed a ban on '“ideologically or religiously influenced clothing which is associated with the covering of the head.”' This ban directly bans traditional headscarves worn by Muslim women worldwide.

Some Improvements

I have to agree with most of the comments that this article does not equally discuss men and women Islamic clothing. Rather than changing the title of the page, I feel it is more impactful to add more information regarding men's clothing. Most of my additions to this article reflect that sentiment.
