My Christian friend wants to know why we have to wear our pants above the ankles?

Question

My Christian friend wants to know why we have to wear our pants above the ankles? What should I tell him?

Answer

Don't waste time with non- Muslims who ask about particular details of Islam. When they do not accept the validity of our Tauheed and Risaalat beliefs, then it is superfluous to discuss 'futilities' with them. Even most so-called ulama of our time do not understand this issue. They wear their pants on and below the ankles.

If you wish, you may ask the non-Muslim: Why do you wear jeans? Why is your Bermuda pants so high above the ankles? Why is your pants below the ankles? Why do your women parade naked with bikinis'? You could ask them a million whys of this type.
