Is the garment that is worn down to the mid-calf considered a garment of fame in these days?

The questioner : May Allah reward you. The questioner asks: Is the garment that is worn down to the mid-calf considered a garment of fame in these days?

The Shaykh : People point at it with their fingers when they see a man from a group that is accustomed to wearing the garment low. However, if he is from a group that is accustomed to raising the garments, because in some countries you find their garments are short by nature, reaching the mid-calf with the rest covered by the trousers, then this is considered a garment of fame.
Then I say: One should not be strict in this matter, namely in raising the garment, because the matter is entirely broad. Among the Companions, some had their garments below the mid-calf, and at their head was Abu Bakr al-Siddiq (may Allah be pleased with him), whose garment was low, and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) approved it for him. The evidence that his garment was low is that when the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) mentioned the punishment for one who drags his garment in arrogance, he said: And it necessarily follows that if it hangs loosely on him, it must be lower than the mid-calf, because if it were to the mid-calf, it would descend until it reached below the ankles, and his private parts would be exposed from above out of necessity. That is, if the lower garment reaches the mid-calf and the belt, as you know, is usually at the navel, if it loosens and descends, what is above is exposed. This is clear evidence that the matter, and praise be to Allah, is broad in this regard. It is not permissible for a person to tie loyalty and disavowal to shortening the garment or lengthening it. But if one sees his brother’s garment descending below the ankles, let him advise him and warn him, for the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said: But he should not criticize him if he sees it reaching near the ankles and say: "You have contradicted the Sunnah." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Thus, he made him a doer of a major sin by that, and this is an error. Rather, a person should look at the evidence from all sides. As for looking at the evidence from one side only, it is as some scholars said: like one who looks with the eye of a one-eyed person, and the one-eyed person does not see, what? Except with one eye from one side. If one were to point a pistol at him from the side of his blind eye, would he see it? He would not see it. Therefore, a person should be careful in judging things and in loyalty and disavowal, because the matter is not light. If enmity, hatred, and dislike are sown in the hearts, there will be a flaw in the Ummah. The enemies of Islam, whether from the hypocrites, the atheists, or those who openly declare their disbelief, wish that the Islamic Ummah would split into sects. This is the sweetest thing for their hearts, because the splitting of the Ummah and the enmity between them will shatter it, and it will have no strength. Yes.
