Some people, when they see a man wearing his garment down to the middle of the calf, disapprove of it and do not accept it from him?

Question : If a man’s garment is new and goes down to the middle of the calf, meaning it is permissible down to the ankles, then any length in between is fine. And if a man’s garment is in a state that is not the custom now, meaning some people think he is crazy or something like that, if it is like this, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade the clothing of showing off.

Answer : I imagine he meant that if a person raises his garment to the middle of the calf, it becomes clothing of showing off, and clothing of showing off is forbidden. So we say it was only considered clothing of showing off because people abandoned it and disapproved of it. It is not appropriate for us to say it is clothing of showing off and forbid it, even though the hadith came that the believer’s belt is at the middle of the calf. But we say: do not be severe with us if it goes down to below the middle of the calf, and you say you are from another group, you are not Salafis, and you do not love the Sunnah, and so on. There are some people who say this.
