The ruling on shortening the garment to the middle of the shin

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. This questioner says: It is narrated from Ayub al-Sakhtiyani that he said: Shortening the garment to the middle of the shin is from the clothing of showing off, and that the intended meaning in the hadiths regarding shortening the garment to its middle is the izar (waist-wrapping), not the qamis (shirt) or the thawb (garment).

Answer:
Others have said this as well, because in the hadith
The izar of the believer is [down to] the middle of the shin,أزرت المؤمن نصف الساق،
they said, and the thawb is not like it. In any case, the matter is easy in this. But as we said yesterday, the custom of the society: if the society wears [garments] down to the ankles, you wear down to the ankles; if their custom is to wear them down to the middle of the shin, wear down to the middle of the shin, and do not be a deviator while they are upon the truth and upon the Sunnah. Yes.
