Does a child or boy have permission to let his garment hang below the ankles?

The questioner : Regarding a child or boy, is it permissible to let the garment hang below the ankles?

The Shaykh : Once he reaches the age of seven, it is forbidden for the guardian to dress him in it.

The questioner : The doctors here do not prefer one opinion over another.

The Shaykh : What is it?

The questioner : They do not prefer one opinion over another in the issues, neither in the principles of jurisprudence nor in fiqh. That is, they present the issues as they are. Usually, of course, they prefer the school of thought, for example the Hanbali school, which is the book that explains it. What do you advise?! That is, there are issues in the principles that require a preference in fiqh in all subjects. That is, they require time from us, and I am unable to do so.

The Shaykh : What do I advise, from which aspect?

The questioner : That is, regarding the method of research in these issues.

Another questioner : Shaykh, shall we return and repeat it?

The Shaykh : Yes, because it was added.

The questioner : If we repeat it, you will not answer!

The Shaykh : Do you want it or not?

The questioner : Yes, my Shaykh.

The Shaykh : Does it make a difference, as I understood from it?

The questioner : From his speech, it makes no difference.

The Shaykh : I do not think he would say this. I do not think he would say this. It requires discussion.

The questioner : Please, our Shaykh.

The Shaykh : May Allah reward you.

The questioner : May Allah preserve you, our Shaykh.
