Question:
He says: A person prayed beside me, Honorable Shaykh, and he was letting his garment hang below the ankles, dragging it. Is the prayer to be repeated? What is the ruling?
Answer:
The prayer is not to be repeated; the prayer is valid. However, explain to him that letting a garment hang below the ankles is not permissible, neither in prayer nor otherwise. The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Yes.
