    Bismillah hir-Rahman nir-Rahim !

    (Fatwa: 1503/1231/B=1432) It is the sign of arrogance to wear pant and pyjama below the ankles. Almighty Allah does not like the arrogant and their manners. Also it is mentioned in hadith that on the Day of Resurrection, Allah will not look at a person who trails his lower garment below ankle in arrogance. It is also mentioned in another hadith that such person shall go in Hell. On this ground, a Muslim should always wear lungi or pyjama above the ankles.

    Allah (Subhana Wa Ta'ala) knows Best
