Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : The hadith of Abu Hurayrah regarding performing wudu' for letting the garment hang below the ankles, concerning the man who prayed and then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to him, "Go and perform wudu'," and then mentioned that the cause was letting the garment hang below the ankles... In *Riyad al-Salihin*, it is noted that there is a concern with it, because I think al-Nawawi’s grading of it as good has been scrutinized. There is a man in it named Ali...
