Dress and Appearance

7. The Pilgrim should be suitably dressed, not over adorned nor inclined to things
that excite vainglory and rivalry, thereby enrolling among the arrogant and the
opulent and parting company with the weak, the poor and the righteous. For The
Messenger of Allah, praise and peace be upon him, ordained suitable dress and
banned indulgence and luxury, according to the Tradition of Fadala ibn Ubayd.
As another Tradition puts is: “The Pilgrim is nothing if not suitably dressed.”
Allah, the Almighty said:

“…Then, let the pilgrims accomplish their acts of cleansing…” (Koran Ch. 22
verse 29)
