What is the meaning of the hadith: “No one who lets his garment hang below the ankles will enter Paradise”?

Question:
This questioner says: Honorable Shaykh, in a hadith of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him), he said: “No one who lets his garment hang below the ankles will enter Paradise.” What is the meaning of this hadith? Does it mean that he will not enter Paradise even if he is a Muslim? We ask for guidance.

Answer:
I do not know this hadith with this specific warning in this exact wording. However, the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Therefore, letting the garment hang below the ankles is forbidden for men. Letting the garment hang below the ankles means that the clothing extends below the ankles, whether it is a thobe, an izar, a vest, or any other garment, in the case of men. He is threatened with the Fire. This is one of the hadiths of warning. It does not mean that he becomes a disbeliever, but he is threatened with the Fire. If Allah wills, He will forgive him, and if He wills, He will punish him. Yes.
