´It was narrated from ‘Ala bin ‘Abdur-Rahman that his father said:` “I said to Abu Sa’eed: ‘Did you hear anything from the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) concerning the lower wrap?’ He said: ‘Yes. I heard the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) say: ‘The lower wrap of the believer should come to mid-calf, but there is no sin on him if it comes between that point and the ankle. But whatever is lower than the ankle is in the Fire.’ And he said three times: ‘Allah will not look at the one who lets his lower wrap drag out of vanity.’”

Explanation & Benefits
Maulana Ataullah Sajid
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.
