The ruling on lengthening a young boy's garment below the ankles
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you with the best reward for us and for the Muslims. This is a listener to the program who says: Honorable Shaykh, my son is four years old. When having clothes tailored, I ask the tailor to make the length a little longer, below the ankles, because my son's height is constantly increasing. Am I sinful in doing this?
Answer:
Yes, it is not permissible for a male, whether old or young, to have his garment hang below the ankles. This is not permissible because the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Yes.

Whoever has his garment hanging below the ankles is in the Fire.
من كان أسفل الكعبين فهو في النار.
