- Wahhabis forbid invoking names of prophets or 'pirs'; Shrines are viewed as 'deviant' and forbidden.
- Stringent dress codes are prescribed for both men and women. Men must grow beards, wear a prayer cap and keep trousers just above their ankels; women must observe purdah.
- Music and dance, even loud laughter and demonstrative weeping at funerals, is actively discouraged.
- Alcohol, tobacco and other stimulants are prohibited.
- Women are dissuaded from working except where their families are in financial distress.
- Gender segregation is actively enforced. Men and women are discouraged from socialising in public forums
