Is Shaykh Abu Ishaq Al-Huwayni’s statement regarding al-isbal (letting one’s garment hang below the ankles) considered a proof for its prohibition, and is it permissible to say that if the reason is the same but the ruling differs, then the absolute is not to be interpreted by the restricted?

The website does not judge the fatwas and choices of the Shaykhs. To know our opinion on isbal (letting one's garment hang below the ankles) and whether it is absolutely forbidden or restricted by pride, and regarding the issue of interpreting the absolute by the restricted, you can refer to fatwas numbered: 44144, 40886, and 32715.
