Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: If a believer lives among people who wear their garments to the ankle or below it, and he wants to revive the Sunnah of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)
Answer:
among them, not below it. This is contrary to what is correct; do not agree with them on it. Do not agree with them on it. But it is good that you first explain the ruling of the Shari'ah to them, then you apply this so that those who desire good will follow your example. Do not agree with them on what is below the ankle. Do not agree with them on what is to the knee. This is not permissible. Rather, agree with them on what is the Sunnah, which is what is from the middle of the shin to the ankle; this is the Sunnah, yes.
