Question:
May Allah reward you with good. What is the meaning of the hadith: “Indeed, Allah does not accept the prayer of the one who lets his garment hang below the ankles”?
Answer:
I do not know the hadith in this exact wording, but letting the garment hang below the ankles is forbidden, and it is one of the major sins. The meaning of letting the garment hang below the ankles is any part of the clothing, such as a thobe, a jacket, trousers, or a sarong, that falls below the ankles in the case of a man. All such clothing that falls below the ankles is considered the forbidden act of letting the garment hang below the ankles. Therefore, a Muslim must beware of this. If he prays while letting his garment hang below the ankles, his prayer is valid, but he commits a sin by letting it hang. As for his prayer itself, if its conditions are met and he performs its pillars, obligatory acts, and what is prescribed for it, then his prayer is valid, but he commits a sin by the forbidden act of letting his garment hang below the ankles.
