The Details of the Question
- Can men wear long garments that reach below their ankles?
The Answer
Dear Brother / Sister,
Yes; If there is no intention of pride, boasting and showing off, they can wear such garments.
Whether men or women, the clothes people wear should not sweep the ground; among its many drawbacks is the fact that clothes can be contaminated with dirt and germs.
