The practice is not supposed to be related only to  the Prayer. Though the people generally tend to observe what they  believe in while offering the Prayer and ignore it in routine. <\/p>\n<p> <\/p>\n<div>In  this regard there are two kinds of narratives ascribed to the Prophet  (sws), A) the ones where he is reported to have condemned the ones who  keep their garments hanging on earth as expressive of their pride, and  B) the one which tell us that the Prophet (sws) did not stop some of his  companions from doing so. <\/div>\n<p> <\/p>\n<div>A  careful study of all the narratives in this regard reveals that it was  the show of pride that was being achieved through that practice in that  society and which the Prophet (sws) actually condemned. For these  qualities are condemned by the Qur\u2019an itself and the universal moral  principles. <\/div>\n<p> <\/p>\n<div>Therefore  where he thought that the person had not yet attained the purification  of his soul and elements of conceit and pride might reflect from him  doing so he stopped the person involved. This is because generally in  that society it was a sign of pride and self conceit. The prophet (sws)  did not forbid those who he was sure could not have the evil in mind nor  would people think them to be exhibiting pride.<\/div>\n<p>If  in a society the practice is not connected with this evil we cannot say  that it is undesirable because of the absence of the basic cause of  prohibition.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Answered by:<\/strong> Tariq Mahmood Hashmi<\/p>\n<p><strong>Date:<\/strong> 2015-03-07<\/p>\n<button class=\"simplefavorite-button\" data-postid=\"6864\" data-siteid=\"1\" data-groupid=\"1\" data-favoritecount=\"0\" style=\"\">Favorite <i class=\"sf-icon-star-empty\"><\/i><\/button>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Is it necessary to keep one&#8217;s shalwar (lower garment) above one&#8217;s ankles all the time or only when offering prayers?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":14147,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1163,1173],"tags":[2620,1159,2618,2619],"class_list":["post-6864","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-miscellaneous","category-morals-and-morality","tag-ankle","tag-prayer","tag-shalwar","tag-trouser"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.5 -
