Pants Below Ankles in the Shafi’i School


Shafi'i Fiqh

Answered by SeekersGuidance Answers Service
Question: Assalam ‘aleykum
In Shafi’i fiqh is it allowed to hang pants below the ankles?
Answer: In the Name of Allah, Most Merciful and Compassionate
It is offensive (makruh) in the Shafi`i school to wear one’s garment below one’s ankles, but not unlawful (haram). The hadiths that seem to indicate unlawfulness are understood to refer to someone who does it out of arrogance, in which case the action becomes unlawful.
