English translation

1731. Ibn 'Umar narrated that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: "Whoever arrogantly drags his garment, Allāh will not look at him on the Day of Judgement." So Umm Salamah said: "What should the women do with their hems?" He said: "Slacken them a hand-span."[1] So she said: "Then their feet will be uncovered." He said: "Then slacken them a forearm's length, and do not add to that." (Sahīh) He said: This Hadīth is Hasan Sahīh. In the Hadīth there is a concession for women to drag their Izār because it covers them better.

Arabic text

١٧٣١ - حَدَّثَنَا ‌الْحَسَنُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ الْخَلَّالُ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا ‌عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ، قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنَا ‌مَعْمَرٌ ، عَنْ ‌أَيُّوبَ ، عَنْ ‌نَافِعٍ، عَنِ ‌ابْنِ عُمَرَ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «مَنْ جَرَّ ثَوْبَهُ خُيَلَاءَ» لَمْ يَنْظُرِ اللهُ إِلَيْهِ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ فَقَالَتْ أُمُّ سَلَمَةَ: فَكَيْفَ يَصْنَعْنَ النِّسَاءُ بِذُيُولِهِنَّ؟ قَالَ: يُرْخِينَ شِبْرًا فَقَالَتْ: إِذًا تَنْكَشِفَ أَقْدَامُهُنَّ، قَالَ: فَيُرْخِينَهُ ذِرَاعًا لَا يَزِدْنَ عَلَيْهِ. هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ.

Commentary

Since women are required to conceal their feet from view, they are allowed to drag their lower garments.
