Is letting garments hang below the ankles among the major sins, and how do we distinguish between minor and major sins?

Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, how do we distinguish between major and minor sins? And is shaving the beard and letting garments hang below the ankles considered among the major sins?

Answer:
Letting garments hang below the ankles is a major sin because the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) threatened with the Fire regarding it. He said: “Whatever hangs below the ankles is in the Fire.” So the criterion for a major sin applies to it. As for minor sins, they are those from which one is prohibited, but no threat is attached to them in the Hereafter and no fixed punishment in this world; there is only the prohibition. This is considered a minor sin. Yes.
