English translation

5331. It was narrated that Hudhaifah said: "The Messenger of Allâh ﷺ said: 'The Izâr should come to middle of the shins and the calf. If you insist, then a little lower, and if you insist, then a little further down, but the Izâr has no right to (come to) the ankle." This is the wordings of Muhammad. (Saḥīḥ)

Arabic text

5329 - أَخْبَرَنَا إِسْحَقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ قُدَامَةَ، عَنْ جَرِيرٍ، عَنْ الْأَعْمَشِ، عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَقَ، عَنْ مُسْلِمِ بْنِ نُذَيْرٍ، عَنْ حُذَيْفَةَ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «مَوْضِعُ الْإِزَارِ إِلَى أَنْصَافِ السَّاقَيْنِ وَالْعَضَلَةِ، فَإِنْ أَبَيْتَ فَأَسْفَلَ، فَإِنْ أَبَيْتَ فَمِنْ وَرَاءِ السَّاقِ، وَلَا حَقَّ لِلْكَعْبَيْنِ فِي الْإِزَارِ»، وَاللَّفْظُ لِمُحَمَّدٍ "

Commentary

It is essential to cover the knees with the waist-wrapper or the lower garment. The knees should not be seen, in any condition: while working, bowing, or while performing prostration. The ankles should remain bare in every circumstance. To keep the garment above the mid-shanks is also unlawful, and letting it hang below the ankles is also unlawful. One may, however, keep his lower garments anywhere he may consider it appropriate, between this point (mid-shanks) and the ankles in accord with the season and the customary practice. The trousers or pants also fall under the ruling of the waist-wrapper. Therefore, they should also be kept above the ankles. Handsomeness dwells in obeying Allāh, Most High, and His Messenger ﷺ only.
