Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: It is reported in a hadith from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) that the izzar of the believer reaches the mid-calf. How is that? He says: Is it a garment of fame?
Answer:
Yes, it becomes a garment of fame if the society is not using it. If they are using it down to the ankle, then down to the ankle is a sunnah (recommended practice), my brother. Down to the ankle is a sunnah (recommended practice), so you walk with the people according to this sunnah (recommended practice). Yes.
