Prayer in a garment that hangs below the ankles and the prohibition of letting garments hang below the ankles
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
This is one of the brothers who confronted the house.
The Shaykh:
In the house. Yes. May Allah guide us all.
The presenter:
O Allah, amen.
The Shaykh:
May Allah guide us all. Yes. Letting garments hang below the ankles is wrong and not permissible, but the prayer is valid. The one who lets his garment hang below the ankles has committed a wrong, so it is to be denounced against him, and he is to be taught, advised, and directed toward good. If he responds, that is well; otherwise, the matter is to be referred to the responsible authorities, such as the Commission, or if he is an imam, to the Ministry of Awqaf, so that he may change. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) denounced the Muslim for this, but he did not order him to repeat the prayer. Yes.
