Allowing one’s sleeves to go below the wrists

Answered by 

Q: 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)?

Bismillaah

A: 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.
