Clothing that involves isbal
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Isbal in the izar and the garments?
Answer:
All of it: the trousers, the izar, the shirt, and the cloak. All of it must be above the ankles; it must not hang below the ankles. It is not befitting for a person of sound mind to be deceived by these wretched people who have been lax in these matters regarding this evil.
If he does it out of arrogance and insolence, his sin is greater—seeking refuge in Allah—and the calamity becomes greater. But if he does it out of laxity and lack of concern, it is still forbidden and an evil, but less severe than if he does it out of arrogance.
The common case is that the one who drags his clothes does so out of arrogance and self-importance. In the authentic hadith, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: We seek refuge in Allah... When a man wears beautiful clothes and drags them, he is afflicted with arrogance and self-admiration, and he thinks that no one is above him. So he falls into self-admiration, arrogance, and evil. It is obligatory for him to guard against that, to be humble before Allah, and to guard against this evil. His clothes should be from the middle of the shin to the ankle.

A man in the past, before us, was walking in his two garments, strutting in them, and he was pleased with himself. So Allah caused the earth to swallow him, and he is still tumbling in it until the Day of Resurrection.
