What is the ruling on isbal?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner asks: What is the ruling on isbal?

Answer:
Isbal is letting the garment hang below the ankle, letting the clothes hang below the ankles. This is the forbidden isbal, based on the saying of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him)
What is below the ankles is in the Fire, so it is not permissible for a Muslim toما كان اسفل الكعبين فهو في النار فلا يجوز للمسلم ان
. One should not let his clothes hang below the ankles, whether they are a thawb, an izar, a bisht, or any other garment. If he lets it hang, that is the forbidden isbal. The lower limit for a garment is the ankle.
