Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : What is the ruling on the prayer of one who lets his garment hang below the ankles? Is his prayer invalid?
The Shaykh : The ruling is the same as the ruling for one who is in a state of minor ritual impurity... Listen to the question and listen to the answer... May Allah guide you. Repeat the question?
The questioner : What is the ruling on the prayer of one who lets his garment hang below the ankles?
The Shaykh : So what was the answer!
The questioner : The ruling is the same as the ruling for one who is in a state of minor ritual impurity... Okay, what is the ruling on praying while in a state of minor ritual impurity? Because I heard a fatwa that his prayer is invalidated by this, meaning, in Pakistan, they roll up their trousers while praying. I rebuked them; I said to him... there is a dislike (makruh) in it. He said to me, "O Abu 'Umar, if it is also... letting the garment hang below the ankles, there are hadiths that seem to indicate his prayer is invalidated, meaning there is severity in the hadiths that letting the garment hang below the ankles affects his prayer?"
The Shaykh : May Allah increase your patience.
The questioner : So I have no knowledge of this, that his prayer is invalidated or that there is something wrong with his prayer to the extent that they are forced to roll up their trousers, or that he shortens his garment until the ruling is finished. We want to know the true ruling in this matter. You answered me with an answer... the question, what is the ruling on the prayer of one in a state of minor ritual impurity? ... He wants to explain frankly the ruling on the prayer of one in a state of minor ritual impurity?
The Shaykh : Of course, his prayer is valid, but he is committing a forbidden act.
The questioner : Forbidden... one in a state of minor ritual impurity and one who lets his garment hang below the ankles... and it is a mistake to roll up... and he commits a forbidden act while letting his garment hang below the ankles...
The Shaykh : You said that actions are by intentions, and this is a Prophetic hadith. Does the question of words being by intentions apply, or only actions?
The questioner : ... words.
The Shaykh : What is the intention behind the term "one in a state of minor ritual impurity"... what is supposed to happen?
The questioner : That you explain about... the ruling... did you change it...?
The Shaykh : Yes, O 'Abd Allah, yes, I see you... take your freedom!
