Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: What is the ruling on a man who makes his garment long and leaves it long, not caring about it, despite being advised?
Answer:
This is considered doing a major sin, one of the major sins, because letting the garment hang is a major sin, because Allah has threatened it with punishment, and a sin for which punishment is threatened is a major sin.Jami` at-Tirmidhi 1731Sahih (Darussalam), and he is one of the three who are Sunan an-Nasa'i 4459: the one who lets his garment hang, the one who is stingy, and the one who sells his goods with false oaths. The one who lets his garment hang is the one who leaves his clothes to go below the ankles; he is doing a major sin.
He must repent to Allah and shorten his garment to the ankles or above the ankles to the middle of the shin. This is the place of the Sunnah. As for what goes below the ankles, it is forbidden. And what rises above the knees is also forbidden. Yes.

Whoever arrogantly drags his garment, Allah will not look at him on the Day of Judgement.
من جر ثوبه خيلاء لم ينظر الله إليه يوم القيامةat whom Allah will not look on the Day of Resurrection, nor will He sanctify them
لا ينظر الله إليهم يوم القيامة ولا يزكيهمHe must repent to Allah and shorten his garment to the ankles or above the ankles to the middle of the shin. This is the place of the Sunnah. As for what goes below the ankles, it is forbidden. And what rises above the knees is also forbidden. Yes.
