Hadith 754

754 - حَدَّثَنَا الْحُمَيْدِيُّ قَالَ: ثنا سُفْيَانُ، قَالَ: ثني الْعَلَاءُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ يَعْقُوبَ، مَوْلَي الْحُرَقَةِ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ أَبِي، يَقُولُ: أَتَيْتُ أَبَا سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيَّ، فَسَأَلْتُهُ هَلْ سَمِعْتَ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّي اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي الْإِزَارِ شَيْئًا؟ فَقَالَ: نَعَمْ، تَعَلَّمْ، سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّي اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، يَقُولُ: «إِزْرَةُ الْمُؤْمِنِ إِلَي أَنْصَافِ سَاقَيْهِ، لَا جُنَاحَ عَلَيْهِ فِيمَا بَيْنَهُ وَبَيْنَ الْكَعْبَيْنِ، مَا أَسْفَلَ مِنَ الْكَعْبَيْنِ فِي النَّارِ، لَا يَنْظُرُ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ إِلَي مَنْ جَرَّ إِزَارَهُ بَطَرًا»
Alaa bin Abdur Rahman narrates: I heard my father narrating this. I was present in the company of Sayyiduna Abu Saeed Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him). I asked him: Have you heard the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) say anything regarding the lower garment (izaar)? He replied: I heard the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) say: "The lower garment of a believing servant should reach the middle of his shin, and there is no sin upon what is between that and the ankles. But whatever is below the ankles will be in the Hellfire. Allah Almighty will not look with mercy at the person who lets his lower garment hang out of pride."

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.
