Also Allamah Shabbir Ahmad Uthmani said: “Isbal according to us is forbidden, even if it is not (done) with conceit [khuyala], unless it is not (done) by choice, due to not attending (to the clothes) and ignorance of it due to walking or (some) other (reason), with the condition that one does not persist on that and corrects it after being told. As for one of the sides of the izar of Abu Bakr being lowered, that was only because he (Allah be pleased with him) did not attend to it, as has occurred (in the narration) according to al-Bukhari in Kitab al-Libas, and (further) detail will come if Allah wills in some other place of this commentary.” (Fath al-Mulhim, vol 2 p. 106) However, Shaykh Khalil Ahmad al-Saharanpuri said: “The ‘ulama said: the preferred (mustahabb) (position) for the izar and (other) garment(s) is to half the shins, and (it is) permissible without (any) dislike (karaha) below that to the ankles. Thus, that which descends (below) the ankles is disallowed (mamnu‘). If it is due to conceit it is disallowed prohibitively (tahriman) and otherwise it is disallowed lightly (tanzihan)” (Badhl al-Majhud, Dar al-Kutub al-‘Ilmiyya, Beirut, vol. 16 p. 411)
