Is it permissible to leave off forbidding evil out of shyness?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. This questioner says: What is the ruling on shyness when forbidding evil, such that one leaves off forbidding it out of shyness?

Answer:
It is not permissible for him to remain silent about the evil; rather, he must forbid it to the best of his ability. Shyness is part of faith, and there is no shyness in it.
