The lowering of a woman's garment and whether it is part of the Sunnah
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, he says: Is it permissible to say that it is part of the Sunnah for a woman's garment to be long?
The Shaykh:
Is that all?
The questioner:
Is it permissible to say that it is part of the Sunnah for a woman's garment to be long?
The Shaykh:
Long, meaning hanging down. A man does not let his garment hang down, and if he does, it is isbal (letting a garment hang below the ankles). As for a woman, she lets it hang down, and if she does, it does not take the ruling of isbal, but rather the ruling of covering. Yes.
