Muslims seeking to understand the Islamic guidelines on modest dress and garment length.
The user asks about the ruling on letting one's garment hang below the ankles without arrogance.
There are three opinions: forbidden, disliked, or permissible. The prevailing view among scholars is prohibition.
There are many proofs for the prohibition of Isbal, separate from the prohibition of arrogance.
The hadith of Abu Bakr's garment hanging down is used as evidence, but it's explained he wasn't arrogant.
Abu Bakr's izar was naturally loose due to his thinness, not intentional Isbal.
If the garment hangs down unintentionally, it's not considered Isbal. Intentional Isbal is the issue.
Some scholars, like Abu Bakr ibn al-Arabi, definitively ruled Isbal as forbidden.
