Question:
I read a hadith from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him): Three people to whom Allah will not speak on the Day of Resurrection, [Ali 'Imran 3:77] and among them is the one who lets his garment hang below the ankles. The custom in some areas is to wear the izar (lower garment) hanging below the ankles. What is the guidance, Shaykh Fawzan? May Allah reward you with good.
Answer:
Yes, what you read is established from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and I am explaining it now. It is the prohibition of isbal and the warning against it, because it is among those who[Ali 'Imran 3:77], and among them is the one who lets his garment hang down. Isbal is when the garment is lowered below the ankles, whether it is a thobe, a jacket, a coat, trousers, or anything else. Yes. Anything that hangs below the ankles for a man is isbal, and he is threatened with the most severe warning. Therefore, it is obligatory for Muslims to be aware of this. The jacket and the thobe are the same in this regard; all clothing is included. May Allah reward you with good, and may He do you good.
I read a hadith from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him):
(peace and blessings be upon him) that he said: "Whatever is below the ankles of the garment is in the Fire," and that he also said
صلى الله عليه وسلم أنه قال ما أسفل من الكعبين من الإزار ففي النار، وأنه قال أيضاor look at them on the Day of Resurrection, nor will He purify them; and they will have a painful punishment.
وَلَا يَنظُرُ إِلَيْهِمْ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ وَلَا يُزَكِّيهِمْ وَلَهُمْ عَذَابٌ أَلِيمٌAnswer:
