The ruling on letting garments hang below the ankles with arrogance and without it

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. He says: What is your opinion of the one who lets his garment hang below the ankles and says, "My letting it hang is not out of arrogance"? The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Whoever drags his garment out of arrogance..."

Answer:
That is, he said (peace and blessings be upon him):
Whoever drags his garment out of arroganceمن جر ثوبه خولا
"He will not be admitted into Paradise." He tumbles in the earth; Allah will swallow the earth with him. He reported about a man from the previous nations who was pleased with himself and what he was wearing, so Allah swallowed the earth with him. He tumbles in the depths of the earth until the Day of Resurrection. It is good to be arrogant and proud in one's clothing and gait. Letting garments hang below the ankles is forbidden, whether with arrogance or without it. If it is with arrogance, it is more severe from two aspects: the aspect of letting it hang and the aspect of arrogance. As for dragging the garment without arrogance, it is forbidden due to the letting it hang. And he said (peace and blessings be upon him):
Whatever is below the ankles is in the Fire,ما كان أسفل الكعبين فهو في النار،
and he did not say "arrogance," but rather he tied the ruling to it going below the ankles. Yes.
