Question:
Muhammad says: Honorable Shaykh, regarding the ruling on praying behind an imam who lets his garment hang below the ankles, in…
Answer:
The prayer is valid, but the sin is upon the one who lets his garment hang below the ankles. The sin is on him, not on you. You should pray with the congregation and not leave the congregational prayer on the excuse that the imam is letting his garment hang below the ankles. But who is the one who lets his garment hang below the ankles?
Because some of the youth think that anyone whose garment goes below the middle of the calf is letting it hang below the ankles, because they do not know the Sunnah. The one who lets his garment hang below the ankles is the one who wears a garment below the ankle bone, the one who wears a garment below the ankle bone. The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
This is the one who lets his garment hang below the ankles. If he is letting his garment hang below the ankles, and you find an imam who is better than him, you pray behind him and do not pray behind the one who lets his garment hang below the ankles.
If you do not find an imam, do not leave the congregational prayer. You must advise him and explain this to him. The sin is upon him. Yes.
