The Hadith: There Is No Prayer for the One Who Lets His Garment Hang Below the Ankles
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: Is there a hadith from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) that there is no prayer for the one who lets his garment hang below the ankles, or that his prayer is not accepted?
Answer:
I have not heard, what I have heard, what is authentic from the Messenger is that he ordered a man who let his garment hang below the ankles to repeat the ablution. He ordered him to repeat the ablution. The scholars do not hold that letting the garment hang below the ankles invalidates the ablution. They said this was a specific incident particular to this man. And Allah knows best.
