Question:
We have a connection with Sabir from Riyadh. Go ahead, Sabir. Peace be upon you. And upon you be peace. And upon you be peace. May Allah benefit every Muslim and Muslims. May Allah accept. Shaykh Sabir, go ahead. He asks, may Allah preserve you: Does the length of the sleeve of a garment count as isbal (letting a garment hang below the ankles), or does the bisht (cloak) count as isbal? The length of the sleeve of the garment or the bisht? And a second question: What is the ruling on the nutmeg? Is it permissible? Some people put it in their coffee or eat it. Is this permissible or not? May Allah preserve you. Thank you, Shaykh. Student Sabir. Yes, Honorable Shaykh, he asks, Honorable Shaykh: If the sleeve is long, does it count as isbal?
Answer:
No, this is not isbal, but it is disliked. The prescribed length is for the sleeve to reach the wrist, which is the point between the two bones, meaning the joint of the hand on the arm; the sleeve should reach this limit. The prohibited and forbidden isbal is letting the garment hang below the ankles, as the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said:. This is isbal: the wearing of a garment that extends below the ankles for men. As for women, they are required to cover themselves and let their garments hang over them, so that nothing of them is exposed. Yes.

ما كان أسفل الكعبين فهو في النار
