ANSWER:

No. However it should not exceed a cubit.

Ibn ‘Umar, may Allaah be pleased with him, who said: “The Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: ‘Whoever trails his garment on the ground out of pride, Allaah will not look at him.’ Umm Salamah said: ‘O Messenger of Allaah, what should women do with their hems?’ He said, ‘Let them go down a handspan.’ She asked, ‘What if their feet show?’ He said, ‘Let them lengthen it by a cubit, but no more.'”
(al-Nisaa’i, Kitaab al-zeenah, Baab dhuyool al-nisaa’).
