Question:
Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: Is wearing the garment down to the middle of the calves considered a display of distinction in this time, given that there is a hadith regarding it?
Answer:
The sinner wears the clothing of the people of his land, as long as their clothing conforms to the Sunnah. He wears their clothing and does not differ from them in dress, so that this becomes a display of distinction among them. This is what is required regarding the garment and the shirt. He wears what the people of the land wear, as long as it reaches the ankles. If it is below that, it is a display of distinction. He does not differ from them in this.

May Allah reward you
