The ruling on a man wearing long garments
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
In a second question from this questioner, Umm Abdullah, she says: If a man wears a long garment without intending arrogance or desiring the length, but for reasons such as the unavailability of a short garment on a given day, or because the short garment has become dirty, or similar reasons, is this among the forbidden isbal (letting the garment hang below the ankles)?
Answer:
Yes, it is not permissible to wear long garments in any case. Even if he says, "I am not arrogant," Allah has forbidden it. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:Sunan an-Nasa'i 5331Sahih (Darussalam) And he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Sunan Abi Dawud 4087Sahih (Al-Albani) which Muslim recorded in his Sahih. It was not conditioned that he intended arrogance, but if he intended arrogance, the sin is greater, as he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Jami` at-Tirmidhi 1731Sahih (Darussalam) In this case, his sin is greater and the blame is more.
Furthermore, the common reality is that one who drags his garment is usually doing so out of arrogance. If he claims he is not arrogant, he should not be believed. Rather, he should be told: "Leave this, beware of this, for the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) has forbidden you this." If it is long, he should shorten it; otherwise, he should tuck it up until it is raised so that it does not go below the ankles. Yes.

Yes, it is not permissible to wear long garments in any case. Even if he says, "I am not arrogant," Allah has forbidden it. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
Whatever of the Izar comes below the ankles is in the Fire.
ما أسفل من الكعبين من الإزار فهو في النارNarrated 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 الكاذبWhoever arrogantly drags his garment, Allah will not look at him on the Day of Judgement.
من جر ثوبه خيلاء لم ينظر الله إليه يوم القيامةFurthermore, the common reality is that one who drags his garment is usually doing so out of arrogance. If he claims he is not arrogant, he should not be believed. Rather, he should be told: "Leave this, beware of this, for the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) has forbidden you this." If it is long, he should shorten it; otherwise, he should tuck it up until it is raised so that it does not go below the ankles. Yes.
