N.O.R.F Posted February 7, 2007 The ankles, the ankles,,,,,,,,, Is there a difference in wearing your garments (as a male) above or below your ankles during prayer? I have heard yes and no but would like to hear our brother Nur's take on this. Thanks in advance. ps i thought a new thread might re-ignite our search for perfection.

mantra Posted February 7, 2007 Hadith - Al-Muwatta 48.12, Similar narration in Abu Dawood #4082 Yahya related to me from Malik from al Ala ibn Abd ar-Rahman that his father said, "I asked Abu Said al-Khudri about the lower garment. He said that he would inform me with knowledge and that he had heard the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, say, 'The lower garment of the mumin should reach to the middle of his calves. There is no harm in what is between that and the ankles. What is lower than that is in the Fire. What is lower than that is in the Fire. On the Day of Rising, Allah will not look at a person who trails his lower garment in arrogance.' " http://muttaqun.com/malehijab.html Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
