Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: Is wearing the izar down to the mid-calves, as mentioned in the hadith, considered a form of showing off in this time?
Answer:
A Muslim wears the clothing of the people of his country, as long as their clothing conforms to the Sunnah. He wears their clothing and does not differ from them in dress, so that this becomes a form of showing off among them. This is what is required regarding the izar and the thawb. He wears what is customary in that country, as long as it reaches the ankles; this is in accordance with the Sunnah. He does not differ from them in this.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you
