Riyad as-Salihin 798 (Book 3, Hadith 21) #37287
Length of Lower Garment for Believers

SUMMARY: The lower garment of a believer should be half way below the knees and anything below the ankles is considered sinful. Allah will not look at one who allows his lower garment to trail out of vanity.

Abu Sa'id Al-Khudri (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: Messenger of Allah said, "The lower garment of a believer should be half way below the knees. He is guilty of no sin if they are up to the ankles. That which is below the ankles is in the Fire (of Hell). Allah will not look at one who allows his lower garment to trail out of vanity. Abu Dawud.
وعن أبى سعيد الخدرى رضى الله عنه قال‏:‏ قال رسول الله ‏:‏ ‏ "‏إزارة المسلم إلى نصف الساق، ولا حرج -أو لا جناح- فيما بينه وبين الكعبين، فما كان أسفل من الكعبين فهو في النار، ومن جر إزاره بطرا لم ينظر الله إليه‏"‏‏.((رواه أبو داود))
