Before I enter the prayer, I roll up my pants so they are at the ankles, out of fear of letting the garment hang below the ankles (isbal) in prayer. What is the ruling on what I did?

Question:
May Allah reward you with good. Before I enter the prayer, I roll up my pants so they are at the ankles, out of fear of letting the garment hang below the ankles (isbal) in prayer. What is the ruling on what I did? And does letting the garment hang below the ankles (isbal) affect the validity of the prayer? May Allah reward you with good.

Answer:
Letting the garment hang below the ankles (isbal) is forbidden. By this is meant anything worn by men that falls below the ankles, whether it is clothes, a waist wrapper, a coat, or trousers; all of this is considered letting the garment hang below the ankles (isbal). This is based on the saying of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) So you did well in taking care of your trousers and raising them above your ankles. This was obligatory even outside of prayer. It is obligatory that nothing of your clothing falls below your ankles, whether in prayer or otherwise. So letting the garment hang below the ankles (isbal) is forbidden in prayer and outside of prayer, but it does not invalidate the prayer. Rather, the one who lets his garment hang below the ankles (isbal) commits a sin, but it does not invalidate the prayer. Yes.
