The length of the sleeve and its relation to isbal

The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah preserve you, is there any evidence regarding isbal (letting a garment hang below the ankles) in the sleeve? Did the sleeves of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) extend past the wrist? And how do we reconcile that with the report that indicates it should be to the wrist?

The Shaykh:
The issue of the sleeve is easy; that is, whether it is long or short, it is easy for a man. However, the jurists say it should be to the wrist, meaning the joint of the hand from the arm, which is called the elbow, the joint of the hand from the arm. This is the best. If it is shorter than the hand and reaches the middle of the forearm or less, there is no harm in that, because a man’s situation is easy, like a woman’s. A woman’s awrah (part of the body that must be covered) is such that nothing of it may be exposed to men, but a man’s situation is easy. The sunnah (recommended practice) regarding the sleeve is very easy. However, it is best for a person not to go against the custom of the country, so that his clothing is like the clothing of the people of the country, as long as the custom of the people of the country is not forbidden. As long as the custom of the people of the country is not forbidden, it is best not to deviate from the custom of the country so that he does not become a target for people’s gazes and their surprise. Yes.

To the wrist. It is established that it is to the wrist, meaning the joint of the hand from the arm.
