The Ruling on Letting the Garment Hang Below the Ankles

Question:
I am a young man among those to whom Allah has granted guidance. I am one of those who are consistent in attending the congregational prayer, reading a portion of the Qur'an every night, standing in night prayer, and remembering Allah. My question is that I am among those who let their garments hang down, but I do not do so out of imitating the disbelievers or out of arrogance; rather, it is with good intention. So, is this action of mine a sign of sanity and being outside the Sunnah of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)?

Answer:
May Allah keep you firm in worship and in maintaining the prayer. However, letting the garment hang down is not permissible. Even if you did not intend to let it hang down, if it goes below the ankles, you are in the Fire, whether you intended it or not. You must lift the garment or the outer robe or the cloth to the ankle. As for what is below the ankle, that is a forbidden act of letting the garment hang down, whether you intended it or not. If you intended it, the sin is more severe; if you did not intend it, it is still a forbidden act of letting the garment hang down that you are not allowed to leave or continue in while you know that it is letting the garment hang down. This is what will befall you. Yes.
