The Ruling on Letting the Garment Hang Below the Ankles

Question:
The hadith came specifically regarding the izar (lower garment) and not the thawb (upper garment). This means that the one who lets his thawb hang to the middle of his shin and says, "This is all permissible," has no right to cite the hadith about the izar reaching the middle of the shins as evidence.

Answer:
Your reward is half. Yes. Likewise, it is so. The hadith was reported regarding the izar and the lower garment, but as for the thawb, I do not know that the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said it should be to the middle of the shin. He said this regarding the izar, but he said regarding the izar, the thawb, the overcoat, and all things, including the trousers: "What is below the ankles is in the Fire." So, whatever is below the ankles of all clothing for a man is in the Fire. Letting the garment hang below the ankles is forbidden. As for the izar, it is better for it to be to the middle of the shin. As for the thawb, it should be to the ankle. This is the well-known position. Yes. The father takes the place of the warning in that funeral. The thawb is a thawb and the izar is an izar; there is a difference between them. Yes.
