Dress Code
All are reminded that the World Federation expects all attendees to be suitably attired in keeping with the decorum, spirit and the practice of Sharia. This is a meeting of the leadership of the Community and hence the importance of setting standards and examples for the Community at large. The Secretariat will be more than happy to assist and advise on the do's and don'ts on the matter.
The dress code for women throughout the programme (at all sessions including focus meetings and all outings) should be correct hijab, the minimum being a loose full length outer garment and a scarf.
The dress code for men is sombre clothing with no sleeveless clothes and no shorts. Certain corridors, stairs and lifts at the venues will be reserved entirely for women. Men are requested to respect the requirement of privacy by the women.
With Salaams and Duas,
Secretariat
