Question:
This is a question that says: We see some students and employees being lax in several matters, including praying with the Muslim congregation and letting their garments hang below the ankles. What is your advice regarding this?
Answer:
They should fear Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He. They are students of knowledge, and they are the most deserving of acting upon the Sunnah. So, they should not let their garments hang below the ankles; they should not let their garments go below the ankles; they should not let their garments go below the ankles.Sahih Muslim 2853a Sunan Abi Dawud 4093Sahih (Al-Albani) So, they should not let their garments go below the ankles. As for maintaining the prayer, this is the first thing that is obligatory for them after the oneness of Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He, along with praying with the congregation in the mosques. This is because they are students of knowledge and role models whom others follow, given that they are students of knowledge. So, they should represent knowledge correctly by acting upon it, calling to it, and being upright upon the religion of Allah. Yes.
