Question

My question is what is the rule for wearing trouser. It has to be above the ankel level or I can wear it below the ankel also?

My second question is what is the ruling for the DSOP/ provident fund?

Answer

In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful


Assalaamu `alaykum waRahmatullahi Wabarakatoh

1.       It is not permissible for one to wear his trousers below his ankles. The trousers must be above the ankles. This is clearly stated in the hadith.

2.       We do not know what is the DSOP/provident fund.

And Allah Ta'ala Knows Best

Wassalam
