The Leading of the One Who Lets His Garment Hang Below the Ankles
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, he says: Is it true that the leading of the one who lets his garment hang below the ankles is invalid?
Answer:
I do not know of this statement, I do not know of this statement. The prayer of the one who lets his garment hang below the ankles is valid because he is a Muslim and his prayer is valid, but he commits a sin by letting his garment hang below the ankles. It is reported that the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) saw a man letting his garment hang below the ankles while praying, so he ordered him to repeat the prayer. But I do not see that the scholars acted upon this, and I do not see that they acted upon this. And Allah knows best that the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) ordered him to repeat the prayer for another reason, not because of letting the garment hang below the ankles, and Allah knows best.
