The Ruling on the Prayer of One Whose Garment hangs down

Question :

If the robe or trousers are long, hanging down below the ankles, is prayer in it correct?

Answer:

If trousers hang down below the ankles, then it is forbidden, according to the Hadith of the Prophet which states:
"Whatever hangs down below the ankles from the Izar will be in the Hell-Fire.

- and what the Prophet said about the Izar applies equally to other garments. In accordance with this, a person must shorten his trousers or any other garment so that it is above the ankles. If he prays with a garment that hangs below the ankles, the scholars differ as to the correctness of his prayer. Some consider his prayer correct, because he has performed the obligation, which is to cover his 'Awrah, while others hold the view that his prayer is not correct, because he has covered his 'Awrah with a prohibited garment, and they (i.e. those who hold this view) hold the view that one of the conditions of covering is that it be a permissible garment. So a person who prays in a long garment is at risk, and he should fear Allah, the Almighty, the All-Powerful and shorten his clothing, so that it is above his ankles.
