The extent of shortening the thawb and the difference between it and the izar
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Your Excellency the Shaykh, does wearing the garments currently known to us, which reach the middle of the calf and are longer, fall under the ruling for the izar? This is what the questioner mentioned, and he also asked another question on this matter: Is shortening the thawb to the middle of the calf part of the Sunnah? And does the izar differ from the thawb?
The Shaykh:
O brothers, this follows what the Muslims in the society are doing; every society is according to its own custom. So if the Muslims are wearing garments down to the ankles, you wear like them and do not differ from them, because wearing down to the ankles is also part of the Sunnah. And if the Muslims in a country or a place are wearing garments down to the middle of the calf, wear like them and do not differ from them, so that confusion, disagreement, misunderstanding, and bad suspicion do not arise among people. As long as the Muslims are following the Sunnah, whether down to the middle of the calf or down to the ankles, you do as they do. Yes.
The questioner:
May Allah reward you with good.
The Shaykh:
And in the thawb and the bisht, they are all the same, every garment. Yes.
