Shareeah compliant dress
Explanation:
Sharee`ah compliant dress

Since there is nothing called زي شرعي in literal meaning because Sharee`ah does not specify a certain kind of dress to be worn, rather it imposes a set of rules and regulations to be observed in any dress or wear.

I am afraid if we say Islami or religious dress, it may imply that there is a kind of uniform imposed by Islam upon Muslim men and women like that of priests and nuns for example

to Fida:

No other religion uses the word Shar`i that is why is specific for Islamic way of dress. The word religious has other connotations such as being worn by a liturgy or a religious group, unlike the general Islamic concept of wearing decent and modest dress that maintains certain conditions

religiously-licit wear


Explanation:
أي اللباس المباح حسب الشرع، وقد اقترحت تضمين
religiously
نظراً لكون المصطلح معنياً بالزي المسموح حسب الشرع الديني تحديداً، لا الشرع بمعنى القانون
مسألة أخرى، لا يقصد بالزي في هذا المصطلح اللباس الموحد، بل اللباس بشكل عام. ومن المعروف أن "الزي الشرعي" لا يقصد به سوى أن لباس الإنسان يغطي عورته ويخفي التفاصيل الدقيقة للجسد بغض النظر عن شكل اللباس أو لونه. ا

disagree  Mohamed: I like the answer, but it all depends on context. I believe the context above is more about Islam, hence Mr. Saleh's answer is more accurate in this context. Your answer is more generic. Asker can decdie.

  -> I agree that my answer lacks referring to Islam in particular, however I'm not sure if "shar'ee" can't refer to other religions in a different context. Perhaps a colleague could enlighten us here. Thanks for your opinion :)

neutral  Fida Malki (X): That's well however, what are we to understand from the word Shar`i? Does another religion besides Islam use that term? Thanks for the further discussion however what is meant by shar`i remains "Islamic-religious dress" therefore I stand by my point :)

  -> thanks a lot for your input, the context here is talking about Shar`i dress specifically, not about religious or Islamic symbols in general. I also used to work with American & British editors and used to approve this translation :)// See my note above
