Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. The caller from Riyadh asks: What is the modesty required of the Muslim man and woman? That is, what is religious modesty? And is all modesty praiseworthy?

Answer:
The required modesty, which is a branch of the branches of faith, and about which the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said that modesty brings nothing but good, is the modesty that restrains a person from inappropriate morals and words that are not fitting. It is the modesty that restrains its owner from inappropriate morals. This is the praiseworthy modesty, which is a branch of the branches of faith, and the modesty that is encouraged, which restrains its owner from what is not fitting with dignity or what is not fitting with the religion. As for the blameworthy modesty, it is the modesty that prevents one from matters of the religion, the modesty that prevents one from what Allah has made obligatory or what Allah has prescribed, the modesty that prevents one from seeking knowledge, the modesty that prevents one from seeking knowledge, the modesty that prevents one from asking the scholars of knowledge about what is unclear to him in his religion. This is blameworthy modesty, and it is of the blameworthy shyness, because it prevents a person from learning the matters of his religion. Yes.
