Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. What is mentioned in the hadith of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) regarding dragging one’s garment out of arrogance: is it permissible to let a garment hang below the ankles without arrogance?
Answer:
No. If he drags it out of arrogance, the sin is more severe. If he drags it without arrogance, he is still sinful and it is forbidden, but it is lighter than dragging it out of arrogance. Otherwise, both are forbidden; this one and that one. Yes.
