[AI] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Indeed, one who drags his garment out of pride, Allah will not look at him on the Day of Resurrection." Umm Salamah then asked, "O Messenger of Allah, what about women?" He replied, "They should lower their hemline a hand span."

tirmidhi:1731al-Ḥasan b. ʿAlī al-Khalāal > ʿAbd al-Razzāq > Maʿmar > Ayyūb > Nāfiʿ > Ibn ʿUmar

That the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "Whoever arrogantly drags his garment, Allah will not look at him on the Day of Judgement." So Umm Salamah said: "What should the women do with their hems?" He said: "Slacken them a handspan." So she said: "Then their feet will be uncovered." He said: "Then slacken them a forearm's length and do not add to that." He said: This Hadith is Hasan Sahih. In the Hadith there is a concession for women to drag their Izar because it covers them better.
