The ruling on letting garments hang below the ankles and responding to those who do so and say that Islam is not about appearance

Question:
A woman from Algeria says: The men among us also let their garments hang down, and when we advise them, they say that Islam is not about appearance. So what do you advise such people? They are negligent regarding their garments despite what has been revealed about them hanging below the ankles.

Answer:
This is a major sin, one of the major sins. It is not permissible for men to let their garments hang down. This is a major sin, one of the major sins, due to his saying: The limit of a man’s garment is the ankle. This is the limit of a man’s garment. And their saying that Islam is in the hearts is a false statement. Islam in the hearts manifests in the limbs through commitment and obedience to Allah and His Messenger. As for one who commits sins, lets his garment hang down, does forbidden things, and says that faith is in the heart, this is a false statement. Many ignorant people or some of those who follow their desires repeat this often. Yes.
