Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: Is wearing the garment to the mid-calf considered clothing of showing off in this time, or is it from the Sunnah?
Answer:
Is it from the Sunnah? The Sunnah is to the ankles. The Sunnah is that you do not contradict the people of the country as long as their clothing is lawful, so do not contradict them. You wear it to the ankles if they are wearing it to the ankles, so do not contradict them.
