Abu Sa‘īd al-Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The Muslim's lower garment should be halfway down the leg. There is no harm - or there is no blame - between that and the ankles. However, what is below the ankles is in the Fire. Whoever trails his lower garment out of vanity, Allah will not look at him." Authentic - Narrated by Abu Dāwūd, Ibn Mājah, and Ahmad

The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) clarified that a Muslim man's Izār (whatever covers the lower half of a man's body) has three states: First: The recommended state is to reach halfway down the shin. Second: The permissible state without being disliked is to extend below that, down to the ankles, which are the two prominent bones at the joint of the shin and foot. Third: The prohibited state is to extend below the ankles, and there is a fear that one may be punished by the Fire. If worn out of arrogance, gloating, and transgression, then Allah will not look at him.

  • This description and warning apply specifically to men. Women; however, are excluded from this because they are commanded to cover their entire bodies.
  • Anything that covers the lower half of a man’s body is called "Izār", such as trousers, garments, and similar clothing, and it falls under the legal rulings mentioned in this Hadīth.
