Scholars differ on the ruling concerning the lengthening of a garment below the ankles, whether it is forbidden (haram) or disliked (makruh). According to the opinion that it is forbidden, the questioner must raise or shorten his trousers so that they do not extend below the ankles, otherwise, he would be committing a sin.
