The ruling on mocking the bearded man who shortens his garment

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: There are people who, when they see a young man with a beard and a garment that is shortened, begin to mock him, and they may even accuse him of hypocrisy and extremism. What is the ruling on these people?

Answer:
As for growing the beard and letting it grow, this is obligatory. Even if they mock him, do not pay attention to them. They are the ones who are wrong, and you are correct, and praise be to Allah, you are upon the Sunnah.
And as for shortening the garment, the garment to the ankle, this garment, the garment to the ankleوأما تقصير الثوب الثوب إلى الكعب هذا الثوب الثوب إلى الكعب
And
If it is below the ankle, it is in the Fireكان اسفل الكعب فهو في النار
this is a cause. Leave your garment down to your ankles; there is no need for you to shorten it. If you are in a community that does not shorten their garments, do not stand out from them. They are upon the Sunnah, not upon innovation. If it is down to the ankles, this is the Sunnah, so walk with them. Praise be to Allah. Yes.
