I complied with his orders and as I was still trying to find the best place (for it), one of the people asked where it should reach and he (ﷺ) replied, "Half way down the knees."

Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said, "The lower garment of a believer should be half way below the knees. He is guilty of no sin if they are up to the ankles. That which is below the ankles is in the Fire (of Hell). Allah will not look at one who allows his lower garment to trail out of vanity. [Abu Dawud].

"‏إزارة المسلم إلى نصف الساق، ولا حرج -أو لا جناح- فيما بينه وبين الكعبين، فما كان أسفل من الكعبين فهو في النار، ومن جر إزاره بطرا لم ينظر الله إليه‏"
