The Ruling on Letting Garments Hang Below the Ankles and the Hadith of Abu Bakr

Question:
In the question, my brothers, a question has arrived, Honorable Shaykh, regarding the ruling on letting garments hang below the ankles. He says that it was reported from Abu Bakr al-Siddiq, may Allah be pleased with him, the meaning of the hadith is that he said to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), "My garment is falling down," or as he said. Then the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: as he said.

Answer:
So letting the garment hang below the ankles is forbidden, and it is a major sin from the major sins. It is what goes below the ankles; that is letting the garment hang below the ankles, which is forbidden and a major sin from the major sins. As for the saying of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) to Abu Bakr—Abu Bakr says that it slips down without his choice, it slips down without his choice, and when he becomes aware, he raises it—does he sin for its slipping down before he raises it, without his choice? He says: No, he does not sin, because he did not intend this, he did not intend this. As for the one who says he does it intentionally, saying: "I did not do it out of arrogance, and I lengthen my garment," saying: "This is not arrogance," saying: "This is letting the garment hang below the ankles." This is letting the garment hang below the ankles. If it is accompanied by arrogance, the matter is more severe. If it is not accompanied by arrogance, as you say, it is letting the garment hang below the ankles, and letting the garment hang below the ankles is forbidden, so it is not permissible to intentionally let the garment hang below the ankles. As for a person whose lower garment slips down without his choice, and then when he becomes aware, he raises it, he does not sin for what has passed, because it was without his choice. But if he leaves it to continue, he sins. Yes.
