===Men=== [[File:Pilgrims head to the 'mountain of mercy' - Flickr - Al Jazeera English.jpg|170px|thumbnail|left|Pilgrims head to the '[[Mount Arafat|mountain of mercy]]'.]] In [[Sunni]] interpretations, the'' 'awrah'' of a man refers to the part of the body from the navel to the knees. The [[Maliki]], [[Shafi'i]], [[Hanafi]], and [[Hanbali]] schools of thought observe that there is a difference on whether the navel and the knee itself are included. In particular, these observations generally require that the cloth not be too thin, that it is not pale to the extent the color of the skin can be seen, that a man ensures extra covering if his genitals' shape is discernible, and stipulate that the modesty of adulthood applies once a boy becomes ten years old.<ref name=":0">Lee, Nazirah, and Zanariah Noor.
