The ruling on obeying one's mother in wearing a garment that hangs below the ankles
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
The questioner says: My mother refuses to let me wear a short garment, and she wants me to wear a garment that goes below the ankles. What am I required to do?
The Shaykh:
A man or a woman?
The questioner:
It appears that light is the most beautiful thing.
The Shaykh:
If it is a woman, yes, it is obligatory for her to cover herself and let her garment hang down from behind her heels by the length of an arm so that it covers them. But if it is a man, it is not permissible for him to let his garment hang below the ankles. This is based on the saying of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) One does not obey anyone in that, not even a parent or anyone else. There is no obedience to a created being in disobedience to the Creator. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
The Shaykh:
You should clarify it to her; perhaps she is ignorant. So you clarify to her that this is forbidden and not permissible.

Whatever is below the ankles is in the Fire.
