[Machine] It seems that the Prophet Muhammad, ﷺ , said, "The length of the izar (a wrap or garment worn around the waist) should reach halfway down the shins, but it is preferable for it to reach the ankles, as there is no good in anything shorter than that."  

أحمد:١٣٦٩٢ – حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ يَعْنِي ابْنَ الْمُبَارَكِ حَدَّثَنَا حُمَيْدٌعَنْ أَنَسٍ قَالَ قَالَ

كَأَنَّهُ يَعْنِي النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَالَ الْإِزَارُ إِلَى نِصْفِ السَّاقِ فَشَقَّ عَلَيْهِمْ فَقَالَ أَوْ إِلَى الْكَعْبَيْنِ وَلَا خَيْرَ فِي أَسْفَلَ مِنْ ذَلِكَ
