Is shortening the garment in a conspicuous manner considered part of the prohibited clothing of fame?

Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: Is shortening the garment in a conspicuous manner considered part of the prohibited clothing of fame?

Answer:
Shortening the garment is according to the community. If the community wears it down to the ankles, then the one who raises it above the ankles is engaging in fame. The ankles are a recommended practice. Wearing it down to the ankles is a recommended practice. The people have followed it. So we do not oppose them. It is a recommended practice. But if the entire community is accustomed to wearing it down to the middle of the calf, we follow the middle of the calf.
So the result is that one does not oppose the community of Muslims that follows a type of recommended practice. The garment is down to the ankle; this is a recommended practice. So if a community is accustomed to the garment being down to the ankle, we do not oppose them, because they are on a recommended practice, not on a religious innovation. Yes.
