The virtue of modesty and the difference between praiseworthy and blameworthy modesty

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah bless you. His other question says: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
Every religion has its distinct characteristic, and the distinct characteristic of Islam is modesty.إِنَّ لِكُلِّ دِينٍ خُلُقًا وَإِنَّ خُلُقَ الإِسْلاَمِ الْحَيَاءُ
Sunan Ibn Majah 4182Da’if (Darussalam)
How do we apply this character in our lives and raise our children upon it?

Answer:
By Allah, I do not know this hadith, but the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Modesty is a branch of faith. Modesty is a branch of faith. What is meant by it is the modesty that restrains a person from what is not fitting; it restrains him from what is not fitting. It is a good character because it leads a person to do good and leave evil. It is a character; it is a branch of faith, and modesty is a branch of faith.
This is the modesty that results in doing good and leaving evil. As for the modesty that is cowardice, and the modesty that prevents its owner from asking the scholars and prevents its owner from seeking knowledge, this is blameworthy and not praiseworthy.
The modesty that is shyness is blameworthy. As for the modesty that is among the characteristics of faith, it is the one that restrains its owner from what is not fitting. Yes.
