<b>Guidance from the Hadiths:</b><br>
1) In relation to letting the garment trail, people fall under two categories:<br>
First: Those who drag their garment out of pride. Second: Those who let their garment hang below the ankles, without pride.<br>
2) A person who drags his garment out of pride shall receive four punishments: Allah will not talk to him on the Day of Judgment, nor will He look at him (a look of mercy), nor will He purify him, and he will have a painful torment.<br>
3) Letting one’s garment trail without pride is a major sin, as a person who does so is threatened with entering Hellfire.
