What is excluded from letting the garment hang below the ankles if it is to cover an ugliness in the man?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Letting the garment hang below the ankles, O Shaykh, nothing is excluded from it, ... ?

The Shaykh : If dire necessity calls for this, if dire necessity calls for it to be let down, there is nothing wrong with it. And if there is no dire necessity such that what is on the man can be covered with a sock, then there is no need to let the lower garment hang down.

The questioner : I mean, if his leg is sound and the other one, he leaves the lower garment slanted?

The Shaykh : Huh? If it is what?

The questioner : A sound leg, and a leg, for example, that has an ulcer, he leaves the lower garment slanted?

The Shaykh : But what kind of ugliness is this ugliness? Not every ugliness do we say is permissible.

The questioner : ... on his shin ... .

The Shaykh : They say there is whiteness on his shin, or that there are wounds on his shin; this may not be necessary to lower the garment below the ankles, because the shin is above the ankle.

The questioner : If it is ... .

The Shaykh : The important thing is that if there is a dire necessity that permits the forbidden, it is permitted for him; and if there is no dire necessity, it is not permissible.

The questioner : But ... it happened, O Shaykh, what do you say?

The Shaykh : Three?
