The ruling on raising the garment above the ankles and to the middle of the shin

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
The sweetest thing above the ankle, does it equal in reward the hadith of the one who inquired?

The Shaykh:
Yes.

The questioner:
The hadiths that encourage.

Another questioner:
The garment, is the position above the ankle equal in reward to the middle of the shin, or not?

The Shaykh:
The matter is broad; they are all permissible. In fact, there is no prohibition, but one should not lower it below the ankle. The effect is that if it is lowered below the ankle, or if it is above that, it is merely recommended, whether to the middle or above the ankle.

Another questioner:
You have strayed from your work.

The Shaykh:
The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) generally tucked up his garments. May Allah send prayers upon him. Yes.
