Setting
The Muslim's lower garment should be half way down the leg. There is no harm (if it reaches) between that and the ankles. However, what is below the ankles will be in the Fire. Whoever trails his lower garment out of vanity, Allah will not look at him

Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) reported that the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) said: ''Whatever is below the ankles of the lower garment will be in the Fire.'' Abu Sa‘īd al-Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) reported that the Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The Muslim's lower garment should be half way down the leg. There is no harm (if it reaches) between that and the ankles. However, what is below the ankles will be in the Fire. Whoever trails his lower garment out of vanity, Allah will not look at him.”

It is commendable for the believer to dress half way down his legs. He incurs no sin if what he wears reaches anywhere between the middle of the legs and the ankles. However, wearing something that reaches beyond the ankles subjects one to divine torment as a punishment for that. Whoever drags his garment out of vanity and arrogance, as a result of receiving Allah's successive blessings, Allah will not look at him on the Day of Judgment.Categories
