Alhumdulillah, there are a lot of brothers in my town who practice Islam and dress accordingly. I respect them to the max. I know the ankles should be left bare but *cough cough* I think some brothers do not know their ankles from their knees cuz lol (wait let me laugh) they have their trousers rolled up alllllll the way to the knees, like they just crossed a river. The trouser is so high up it's hidden by the upper garment so it looks so scary like they got nothing on underneath. Surely it's only the ankles that should be bare, not half the leg. Me and my mom were driving home one day and we saw this bro in that style... whaoooo his upper garment was like just below the knee all you could see were two hairy legs underneath the upper garment. I was like omg where's his trousers? So embarrassing!!!
Anywayz, didnt mean to start a discussion but just don't wanna see a sight like that again. So plz plz plz, if this is you plz buy some longer length trousers and look a bit more decent. Thanks
I said: Give me some advice. He said: Do not abuse anyone. He said that he did not abuse a freeman, or a slave, or a camel or a sheep thenceforth. He said: Do not look down upon any good work, and when you speak to your brother, show him a cheerful face. This is a good work. Have your lower garment halfway down your shin; if you cannot do it, have it up to the ankles. Beware of trailing the lower garment, for it is conceit and Allah does not like conceit. And if a man abuses and shames you for something which he finds in you, then do not shame him for something which you find in him; he will bear the evil consequences for it.
Ok down to shin, which is halfway down from knee to ankle. Still it means should be way below the knee. And jazakAllah for the hadith but does it relate to when a brother is working or at all times?
Dear Muslim Brother or Sister, I have admired how our sisters have obeyed Islam and choose to wear the Hijab. And as a male trying to embrace Islam, I would like to know if there is certain dress code for men. Any answer will help and may Allah bless you for it.
Answer.
In the Name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful.
All praise and thanks are due to Allah, and peace and blessings be upon His Messenger.
Dear brother in Islam, we would like to thank you for showing keenness on knowing the teachings of Islam, and we appreciate the great confidence you have in us. We hope our efforts meet your expectations, yet we apologize for the late reply.
With regard to your question, Sheikh Muhammad Iqbal Nadvi, Imam of Calgary Mosque, Canada, and Former Professor at King Saud Univ., Saudi Arabia, answers:
“I appreciate your concern about the dress code. Islamically, a dress is supposed to serve two purposes:
1. Covering the `Awrah (private parts) of the body.
2. Serving the purpose of adornment and beautification.
Reviewing the Qur’an, we find that Allah, the Almighty, describes the dress of believers as “The Dress of Piety” or Libasut-Taqwa, and this exactly emphasizes the aforementioned two conditions, and stresses that such a dress should never be used for showing off. Almighty Allah says: “But the raiment of righteousness, - that is the best.” (Al-`Araaf: 26)
Islam has provided few guidelines to achieve this quality:
1. The first condition is that the dress has to be Halal by its origin, i.e. purchased or owned through Halal earning.
2. The second is that it must not imply imitation of other people’s dress. This means we should not imitate others’ religious attire or style, as the Hadith states: “Whoever imitates some people will be ranked among them.” (Irwaa’ul Ghaleel, Al-Albaani, Hadith no. 2384)
3. The third condition is that the dress must not carry any resemblance to women’s dress. This means men’s dress must not involve any kind of feminine style of adornment: pure silk, golden dress, very bright and fast color, are all considered permissible for women, but not for men.
Below this level are some cultural choices and this may come as a second level. But what is important is that Islam promotes unique identity for Muslims in every action, and this applies to the dress code. So, Islam encourages the dress which represents the message of Islam, and which distinguishes Muslims from others. I hope you will develop your taste so to achieve the goal of piety, which is the best as the Qur’an has pointed out.”

Its the sunnah for the men to wear the pants above the ankles
If The male does not wear it on the day of judgement the ankles will burn
Or be on fire or something like that.

sorry sis but you shouldnt have looked his 'hairy' legs to begin with. Your eyes shouldnt linger even if you find it distateful.
Sis my gaze was not 'lingering' on the brothers legs :grumbling . Anyway its hard to linger when you you're driving past someone at 50mph Sis you make it look like I was counting the hairs on his legs. We saw him coming cuz we were driving in the direction opposite, so I couldnt really miss him could I?
And don't forget I was at the same height as his waist, cuz I was sitting in the car. Lol, now I sound like a dwarf It's not my fault I looked at his legs and not his face from that height.
But when looking at someone, you look at their face first, dont you? and not the legs. Anyhow we all do mistakes. May Allah forgive us.
You just admitted that normally ppl look at faces first, whereas you said before that I shouldnt have looked at all. It's the intention that counts sis. Allah knows I don't get kicks out of it. Don't make me feel like a biggggg sinner plzzz:'(
JazakAllah for the article fi_Sabilillah bro. I understand the ankles have to be bare. But you gotto admit taking it all the way up to the knee is a bit too much lol
Jazakullah khair, sis. thnx for the insight. however, as stated, it is a sunnah to keep it half way b/t the knees and ankles. Also, i have seen more men without this sunnah than with it. so, i think it would be better to congratulate such zeal for the sunnah rather than make people feel embarassed. it's kind of like telling a sister, "omg, i know you wanna follow Islam by wearing a hijab n all, but... could u atleast wear some make-up? that black-head on your nose is reeeeeallly annoying!"
Lol, funny thread. But yeh, us brothers should cover up more.
I'm guilty of it myself (hot summers, tke off my top, astagfirallah) however I used to pull my boxer-shorts up to cover my bully botton so at least my aura was covered, and it was only in my house as well, but still. Insha'Allah I won't do it again though.
On the topic of trousers above the ankle: -
I think some brothers (not on this forum, I mean in real non-cyber life) should remember the reason why the Prophet (pbuh) was cursed those who wear long-trailing clothes. It was because of Kibir, pride. They thought they were better than others, richer than others, so they distinguised themselves.
These days, you have brothers do the flip-reverse. They'll wear sunnah trousers/clothes, and then look down on everyone else because they're not doing the same, showing kibir but for a different reasons. This is just as hated as wearing flowing clothes. So GO! TELL EVERYONE!
Your eyes shouldnt linger even if you find it distateful.
:blind: These brothers make it hard when they're wearing white thobes, and the beard... oh my god some of these brothers wear kohl... I definitely try not to gase, but I tell ya... sometimes I literally have to take my hand and COVER my eyes because my eyes begin to have a mind of their own when they see guys in sunnah.
