Does a garment that reaches the ankles fall under the warning?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Do the ankles have any status regarding the lower garment?

The Shaykh : Yes, meaning on the basis of recommendation.

The questioner : ... .

The Shaykh : Yes? Because if they had a status, it would have been said that it should be to the ankles.
Then, this part, as you know, is a small matter, meaning words may differ regarding it. So, if we have an explicit wording
Whatever of the Izar comes below the ankles ما أسفل من الكعبين
Sunan an-Nasa'i 5331Sahih (Darussalam)
this does not admit of figurative interpretation, yes, then what is level with the ankles and what is higher does not carry this punishment.

The questioner : Is there ... O Shaykh?

The Shaykh : Yes?

The questioner : It is said that it is disliked ... the middle of the ankles ..

The Shaykh : By Allah, if it were said to be disliked, because it may be a means to letting it hang down, for this reason, if this were said, it would not be far-fetched. Yes.
The reciter: Praise be to Allah ..
