Allowing one's sleeves to go below the wrists
Question
In shariah, men require to not put the pants below the ankle. Is there any hadith that says of shirt/kurta sleeves to not lie below the wrist (gatto ke neeche)?
Answer
It is allowed for the sleeves to go below the wrists provided it is not done to impress or to boast.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
