Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. Regarding his saying (peace and blessings be upon him)
Whoever arrogantly drags his garment, Allah will not look at him on the Day of Judgement.من جر ثوبه خيلاء لم ينظر الله إليه يوم القيامة
Jami` at-Tirmidhi 1731Sahih (Darussalam)
, is the forbidden thing here only isbal (letting a garment hang below the ankles) done with the intention of khayala (arrogance)?

Answer:
No, for the one in ihram, letting the garment hang below the ankles is a matter of the Fire, and he did not say it is out of arrogance,
but what comes lower than the ankles is in Hellكان أسفل الكعبين فهو في النار
Sunan Abi Dawud 4093Sahih (Al-Albani)
but if it is accompanied by arrogance, the Fire increases for him and the punishment increases for him, may Allah protect us from that.
