Question:
The Shaykh says: What is the meaning of this hadith? Is letting the garment hang below the ankles one of the major sins, such that the one who does so will not enter Paradise?
Answer:
I do not know this hadith with this wording, but letting the garment hang below the ankles is forbidden. Letting the garment hang below the ankles, which is what falls below the ankles, is forbidden, as the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said: what falls belowSunan Abi Dawud 4093Sahih (Al-Albani). So it is not permissible for a man to let his garment hang below the ankles. The dividing line is the ankle; whatever falls below it is letting the garment hang below the ankles. Yes.
