The ruling on lengthening a boy's garment below the ankles

Question:
May Allah reward you with good. The questioner says: When I take my son, who is seven years old, to the tailor to have clothes made for him and his brothers, I ask the tailor to make them a little longer, below the ankles, because my son’s height is constantly increasing. Is this a matter of concern, Shaykh, for children of seven or eight years old? Am I doing something wrong by doing this?

Answer:
Yes, it is not permissible. The meaning is that whatever hangs below the ankles is in the Fire, for both adults and children. However, regarding young children, if they are not of sound mind, their mothers dress them, so it is not permissible to dress them in anything that is not permissible. The limit for a man’s garment is the ankles, and whatever hangs below the ankles is in the Fire, as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said. And if he grows taller after that, it means he should avoid it by getting another garment. If he says, “And this garment has become short,” the general rule is that a garment will not remain on him until he grows so tall that he exceeds the length of the first garment. Yes, except after the first garment has torn. Yes.
