Is shyness the same as modesty, or is it the blameworthy kind of modesty?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : O Shaykh, is shyness the same as modesty, or is it the blameworthy kind?

The Shaykh : No, no. Even shyness is fine if it is shyness from what is religiously blameworthy. So modesty and shyness are close to each other, but perhaps shyness is more apparent in the redness of the face than modesty is.

The questioner : It appears in his features.
