The ruling on letting a garment hang below the ankles

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah reward you, what is the ruling on a man letting his garment hang below his ankles?

Answer:
It is forbidden and a major sin.
Whatever of the garment hangs below the ankles is in the Fireما نزل عن الكعبين من الثياب فهو بالنار
of the garments, of the shirts, of the tunics, of the trousers, all of it is in the Fire. This is the saying of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him).
What is below the two ankles isما كان أسفل الكعبين فهو
in the Fire. The limit for a man’s clothing is the ankle; this is the limit. Yes.

May Allah grant you success,
