Question:

1)Kindly give details of the sunnah hairstyle and combing.

2) What is the sunnah method of keeping the lower garment above the ankles (i.e. just above the bones or significantly far above the bones?) What is meant by the ankle?

Answer:

بِسْمِ اللهِ الرَّحْمنِ الرَّحِيْم

In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

1)  The length of the hair of Prophet (sallallahu alaihi wa sallam) used to be between his ear lobes and shoulders. He used to oil and comb his hair. When combing, he would start from the right side. He used to part his hair. He discouraged combing unnecessarily. (Jam’ul Wasaa’il)

2) The Prophet’s (sallallahu alaihi wa sallam) lower garment used to be upto half of his shin, i.e. between his knees and ankles. Hence, that is the best practice. However, the Prophet (sallallahu alaihi wa sallam) did allow one to have his garment upto his ankle. Having one’s garment below the ankles is not permissible. The ankle is the bone that protrudes at the side of the upper part of the foot.

And Allah Ta’ala knows best
