The Ruling on a Man Letting His Garment Hang Below the Ankles

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. Who is the one who asks for a word of guidance to be directed to the one who lets his garment or trousers hang down?

Answer:
Letting the garment hang below the ankles (isbal) is forbidden and a major sin among the major sins. Isbal is what extends below the ankles. This is isbal. The saying of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) that what is
what comes lower than the ankles is in Hellأسفل الكعبين فهو في النار
Sunan Abi Dawud 4093Sahih (Al-Albani)
, this is isbal, and it is forbidden, and a major sin among the major sins in the case of men. So it is obligatory for the Muslim to avoid isbal; because it is forbidden, and a major sin among the major sins, and there is a severe warning for it.
