Is it true that the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, used to let his garment drag (isbal) in prayer?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
Lengthening one's garment below the ankles is forbidden, and the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, never did it. As for letting the hands hang down in prayer, nothing authentic has been reported about it from the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him.
