| [slm] Dr. Siddiqqi addressed this issue and said: It is forbidden for Muslim men to wear their pants or trousers below their ankles as a sign of arrogance. The Arabs during the time of the Prophet-peace be upon him- used to wear very long robes and shirts and used to drag them along showing their wealth and pomp. The Prophet -peace be upon him- disliked this behavior and told the men among his followers to keep their clothes above their ankles. But when Abu Bakr -may Allah be pleased with him- said to the Prophet that his pants sometime go below the ankles, the Prophet told him that you are not from amongst those who do it out of arrogance. We learn from this Hadith that what is forbidden is arrogance and not just the length of the trousers. |

| [slm] Yeah my understanding is if you do it out of arrogance then its better to keep it above the ankles. There may be some cases where it could be the opposite (i.e this super religious guy who always has his pants above the ankles and in some cases mid-calf, might be scornful of others he sees with pants below the ankles even though they may not be arrogant because of it). Allahu A'lam Muslim. |

| [slm] Praise be to Allaah. Firstly: Isbaal means letting the clothes hang down below the ankles, which is haraam, because the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “Whatever of the izaar (lower garment) hangs down below the ankles is in the Fire.” (Narrated by al-Bukhaari, 5787) If someone were to say, “I do not let my garment (or pants) hang down below the ankle out of pride, but because of habit or custom,” Our response is: That isbaal (letting the clothes hang down below the ankle) in and of itself is subject to the punishment of Fire. If pride and showing off are added to that isbaal, then the punishment is worse and more severe. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “Isbaal may apply to the lower garment, shirt or turban. Whoever lets any part of them hang down in order to show off, Allaah will not look at him on the Day of Resurrection.” (Narrated by Abu Dawood, 4085, and al-Nasaa’i, 5334, with a saheeh isnaad). read the whole at: http://63.175.194.25/index.php?ln=eng&ds=qa&lv=browse&QR=10534&dgn=4 http://63.175.194.25/index.php?ln=eng&ds=qa&lv=browse&QR=12808&dgn=4 |
