Keeping the lower garments above the ankles

Dress & AttireClothing for Men

Question

Am I correct in telling people that the sunnah dressing for men is that the outer garment (kurta and pants) is half-way between the ankles and the knee (on the shin) and that it is waajib for the outer garments to be above the ankles?

Answer

Rather than saying waajib, say that it is important.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
