Question:
Your Excellency the Shaykh. Also, among the questions that came in, this questioner says: What is the virtue of modesty? And what is the difference between the praiseworthy modesty and the blameworthy modesty?
Answer:
The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:Bulugh al-Maram 16:88 Modesty is a branch of faith. What is meant by it is the modesty that restrains a person from what is not fitting. It is a good character trait that leads a person to do good and to leave evil, so it is part of faith. As for the modesty that is cowardice, which prevents its owner from asking the people of knowledge and from seeking knowledge, that is blameworthy. Yes.
