Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner also asks about the long garment that extends below the ankles and is worn without arrogance; what is its ruling?
Answer:
It is not permissible; this is part of letting the garment hang down (isbal). However, with arrogance, the sin is greater; with arrogance, the sin is greater. This is based on the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him):Sunan an-Nasa'i 5331Sahih (Darussalam) narrated by al-Bukhari in the Sahih. Sunan an-Nasa'i 5331Sahih (Darussalam) The same applies to the cloak, the shirt, and the trousers; they are all the same. If it goes below the ankles, it is not permissible for a man.
And he (peace and blessings be upon him) said:Sunan Abi Dawud 4087Sahih (Al-Albani) narrated by Muslim in the Sahih from the hadith of Abu Dharr. This clarifies that there is no difference between one who intends arrogance and one who does not intend arrogance, because the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) spoke in general terms in these hadiths.
And in another hadith he said:Jami` at-Tirmidhi 1731Sahih (Darussalam) This is another warning, and a severe warning.
Therefore, it is obligatory to be cautious of letting the garment hang down (isbal) in all cases, even if one does not intend arrogance. This is something in the heart, and only Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He) knows it. Letting the garment hang down is prohibited, and it is a means to arrogance, in addition to the extravagance involved in it and the exposure of the clothes to dirt and impurities.
It is narrated from 'Umar ibn al-Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him) that while he was being visited by a young man who had come to check on him after he was stabbed, when the young man turned to leave, 'Umar saw his garment dragging on the ground. He said to him, "O young man! Lift up your garment, for it is more mindful of your Lord and cleaner for your garment."
The point is that it is not permissible for a man’s clothing to go below the ankles, even if he does not intend arrogance, because the hadiths are general.
As for the woman, the recommended practice (sunnah) for her is to let her garment hang down so that it covers her feet from men. Yes.

Answer:

Whatever of the Izar comes below the ankles is in the Fire.
ما أسفل من الكعبين من الإزار فهو في النارWhatever of the Izar comes below the ankles is in the Fire.
ما أسفل من الكعبين من الإزار فهو في النارAnd he (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
Narrated Abu Dharr: The Prophet (ﷺ) as saying: There are three to whom Allah will not speak and at whom He will not look on the Day of Resurrection, and whom He will not declare pure, and they will have a painful punishment. I asked: Who are they, Messenger of Allah, they are losers and disappointed ? He repeated it three times. I asked: Who are they. Messenger of Allah, they are losers and disappointed ? He replied: The one who wears a trailing robe, the one who takes account of what he gives, and the one who produces a ready sale of a commodity by false swearing.
ثلاثة لا يكلمهم الله، ولا ينظر إليهم يوم القيامة، ولا يزكيهم، ولهم عذاب أليم: المسبل إزاره، والمنان فيما أعطى، والمنفق سلعته بالحلف الكاذبAnd in another hadith he said:
Whoever arrogantly drags his garment, Allah will not look at him on the Day of Judgement.
من جر ثوبه خيلاء؛ لم ينظر الله إليه يوم القيامةTherefore, it is obligatory to be cautious of letting the garment hang down (isbal) in all cases, even if one does not intend arrogance.
