The Ruling on Lengthening Garments Below the Ankles
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, what is the ruling on lengthening garments below the ankles?
Answer:
It is forbidden, and it is among the major sins. Whatever of the garments extends below the ankles is in the Fire. This applies to garments, to the bisht, to shirts, and to trousers; all of it is in the Fire. This is based on his saying (peace and blessings be upon him). The limit for a man’s clothing is the ankle; this is the dividing line. Yes.
