    Bismillah hir-Rahman nir-Rahim !

    (Fatwa: 776/776/M=1432) Performing salah with folding sleeves, tail of cloth etc is makrooh. If someone’s pant or pyjama is below ankles, he should drag it up or fold it above the ankles; since letting cloth hang below ankles is unlawful and a punishable act. A Muslim should always keep his clothes above ankles (whether in salah or outside) so that there is no need to drag it up for salah.

    Allah (Subhana Wa Ta'ala) knows Best
