The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said what is established inSunan an-Nasa'i 5330Sahih (Darussalam), so does the *izar* here include the *thawb* (robe), or the *thawb* and other garments? May Allah reward you with good.
Answer:
Whatever is below the ankles is in the Fire, according to this narration. The narration mentioning the izar is not a specific restriction but rather follows the general rule; it is one instance of the general category. Therefore, anything that hangs below the ankles for men, whether it is a bisht (cloak), a thawb, an izar, or trousers, is in the Fire, as stated in the hadith, because it is isbal (letting a garment hang below the ankles). Yes.
