Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The Shaykh Salih, this questioner says: In the hadith
Among the words that people learned from the earlier Prophets are: ‘If you feel no shame, then do as you wish.’إن مما أدرك الناس من كلام النبوة الأولى إذا لم تستحي فاصنع ما شئت
Sunan Ibn Majah 4183Sahih (Darussalam)
I hope you will pause with this hadith.

Answer:
The hadith is explained with two meanings:
If you do not feel ashamed, then do whatever you like.إذا لم تستحي فاصنع ما شئت
Sahih al-Bukhari 3484
One meaning is that a person does the things he is not ashamed to do. The second meaning is that "if you have no shame" is a statement of blame; shame prevents one from doing what is not fitting. If shame is removed from a person, he no longer cares what he does, whether it is good or evil, fitting or not fitting. This is the second meaning. Yes.
