Obedience to the Father in Letting the Garment Hang Below the Ankles

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. This questioner says: My father orders me to let my garment hang below the ankles. He says: Is it permissible for me to obey him in that?

Answer:
No, there is no obedience to a created being in disobedience to the Creator, and letting the garment hang below the ankles is forbidden
Whatever is below the ankles is in the Fireما كان أسفل الكعبين فهو في النار
, the saying of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him).
