The Ruling on Isbal Accompanied by Arrogance

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, he says: The warning mentioned in the hadith regarding the one who lets his garment hang below the ankles,
Threeثلاثة
, is it specific to the one who drags his garment out of arrogance, or does it apply to him and others?

Answer:
It is general, applying to him and others, based on the saying of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him):
Whatever is below the ankles is in the Fire,ما كان أسفل الكعبين فهو في النار،
Therefore, isbal is forbidden absolutely. However, if it is accompanied by arrogance, the matter is more severe and the sin is greater. If isbal is accompanied by arrogance, the sin becomes more severe. If it is not accompanied by arrogance, it is still forbidden, because it is lowering the garment. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
Whatever is below the ankles is in the Fire,ما كان أسفل الكعبين فهو في النار،
This is general, and one does not take some of the hadiths and leave others.
