The ruling on letting a garment hang down to the ankles
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
I seek forgiveness from Allah for you. What is the ruling on letting a garment hang down to the ankles such that the garment covers the entire ankle or part of it?
Answer:
The dividing line between what is lawful and what is forbidden in men's clothing is the ankle. If the garment reaches the ankle, that is the prescribed dress. What hangs below the ankle is forbidden dress. What hangs below the ankle is isbal (letting a garment hang below the ankles). What is at the ankle is the prescribed dress. Down to the middle of the shin, and what rises above the middle of the shin is also forbidden, because it leads to exposing the awrah (the part of the body that must be covered).
