Hadith 4093

حَدَّثَنَا حَفْصُ بْنُ عُمَرَ ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ ، عَنِ الْعَلَاءِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ ، قَالَ : سَأَلْتُ أَبَا سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيَّ عَنِ الْإِزَارِ ، فَقَال : عَلَى الْخَبِيرِ سَقَطْتَ ، قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " إِزْرَةُ الْمُسْلِمِ إِلَى نِصْفِ السَّاقِ ، وَلَا حَرَجَ أَوْ لَا جُنَاحَ فِيمَا بَيْنَهُ وَبَيْنَ الْكَعْبَيْنِ مَا كَانَ أَسْفَلَ مِنَ الْكَعْبَيْنِ ، فَهُوَ فِي النَّارِ مَنْ جَرَّ إِزَارَهُ بَطَرًا لَمْ يَنْظُرِ اللَّهُ إِلَيْهِ " .
Narrated Abdur Rahman: I asked Abu Saeed al-Khudri about wearing lower garment. He said: You have come to the man who knows it very well. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: The way for a believer to wear a lower garment is to have it halfway down his legs and he is guilty of no sin if it comes halfway between that and the ankles, but what comes lower than the ankles is in Hell. On the day of Resurrection. Allah will not look at him who trails his lower garment conceitedly.

Benefits and Issues:

Benefits and Issues:
Dragging the lower garment means that the cloth is hung so low that it reaches the ground and, while walking, it keeps touching the earth.
For men, doing so is forbidden (haram).
For women, this is permissible because it serves as a means of covering (purdah) for her; in this way, her feet remain hidden from the gaze of non-mahram men.
