Hadiths regarding turning up trousers/pants…!!!

Ibn Abbas (radiAllahu anhu) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (sallAllahu alaihi wa aalihi wa sallam) said, "I was commanded to prostrate myself on the seven [bones] and forbidden to fold back hair and clothing. [The seven bones are] forehead, nose, hands, knees and feet." (Sahih Muslim: Book 4 no 995)

Ibn Abbas (radiAllahu anhu) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (sallAllahu alaihi wa aalihi wa sallam) was ordered [by Allah, Subhanahu wa Ta'Ala] to prostrate on seven parts and not to tuck up the clothes or hair [while praying]. Those parts are: the forehead [along with the tip of nose], both hands, both knees, and [toes of] both feet. (Sahihal-Bukhari: Volume 1, Book 12, Number 773)

In light of these two Ahadith the Ulama have stated that turning up your trousers to pray salaah is makrooh-e-tahreemi and would therefore make your salaah wajib to repeat.

Major Points:
1. It is always best to follow the way of the Beloved Prophet (sallAllahu alaihi wa aalihi wa sallam) and to keep you clothing above your ankles due to the fact this is Afzal and is Awla.

2. If somebody lets his clothing fall below the ankle and does this out of takkabur then the Ulama say this is makrooh-e-tahreemi (i.e. it is close to haraam.) And if somebody does this out takkabur and offers
salaah in this state, then that Salaah is Wajib ul-Iradah, it has to be repeated because the salaah is not accepted due to the takkabur.

Verily, Allah Subhan Wa Ta'Ala and HIS Messenger know the best !
