Question:
The questioner asks: Does the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) commanding the one who lets his garment hang below the ankles to renew his ablution indicate that his prayer is invalid, or not?
Answer:
Letting a garment hang below the ankles does not invalidate the ablution. We believe in this hadith and that it is established from the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him), but we do not say that this invalidates the ablution. This is a specific issue regarding this man, and Allah knows best. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
