Question

i am very confused that if i wear my pants below
ankles without pride or arrogance, is it still haram then?

Answer

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

As-salāmu ‘alaykum wa-rahmatullāhi wa-barakātuh.

Wearing pants below the ankles is impermissible whether out of pride or not.[1]

Narrated by Abu Hurairah, Nabi sallaAllahu ‘alaihi wa sallam said, “Whatever hangs below the ankles will be in Hell” (Al Bukhari)
