The ruling on isbal and whether it includes the pantalon and the bisht

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, this questioner says: Is isbal among the major sins? And does isbal include the pantalon, the bisht, and other such garments?

Answer:
Isbal is any garment, lower garment, or bisht that hangs below the ankles. The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
but what comes lower than the ankles is in Hellما كان أسفل الكعبين فهو في النار من
Sunan Abi Dawud 4093Sahih (Al-Albani)
This applies to the thawb, the izar, and the bisht. As for the sarawil (trousers), if they are tied to the shirab (socks) with no gap between them, there is no harm in that. Yes.
