Letting the garments of young children hang below the ankles

Question:
The questioner says: When I take my son, who is seven years old, to the tailor, and when I have clothes made for him and his brothers, I ask this tailor to make them a little longer, below the ankles, because my son’s height is constantly increasing. From these young ones, Honorable Shaykh, seven years old, eight years old, am I committing a sin by doing this?

Answer:
Yes, it is not permissible. But the parents forget their children. If they are not of sound mind, below the age of reason, they forget their children, and they do not dress them in anything except if the lower limit of a man’s garment is at the ankles, and whatever hangs below the ankles is in the Fire, as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said. And if he grows taller after that, he has to buy him another garment. If he says, and the garment becomes short, generally the garment does not stay on him until he grows so tall that it exceeds the first garment, except after the first garment has torn apart. Yes.
