What is your opinion of the one who does not ask the Shaykh in a lesson out of fear of people?

The questioner : What is your opinion of the one who does not ask the Shaykh in a lesson out of fear of people?

The Shaykh : Answer: , so if Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) used to invoke mercy upon the women of the Ansar by saying, "May Allah have mercy on the women of the Ansar; their modesty did not prevent them from seeking knowledge of the religion," then it is even more fitting for men that their modesty not prevent them from seeking knowledge of the religion. So why should a person be shy to ask the Shaykh? Especially since I did not understand from the question that it was a private question; rather, it is a general question. If the question were a private one, first regarding the individual and matters of internal affairs, or secondly regarding women's matters, then the report of Aisha mentioned earlier applies: "May Allah have mercy on the women of the Ansar; their modesty did not prevent them from seeking knowledge of the religion." That is, their modesty did not prevent them—this modesty with which they were created, or perhaps it is more accurate to say: with which they were created, because the atmosphere is different today. Despite this modesty, it did not prevent them from asking the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) about matters concerning their private affairs, which men are now too shy to ask about, as you see. But the women of the Ansar combined in their hearts between the modesty about which he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: , and in another hadith: , and yet such modesty did not prevent them from asking about matters related to their religion, even if it was something they would not usually be comfortable stating explicitly and in front of men. So it is even more fitting that no questioner should be ashamed to ask the Shaykh a question, even if it is of the kind that women are usually—men are not—shy to state explicitly. This is the first point. Second: it is possible that someThe questioner : people may be shy to direct some of their questions in front of certain Shaykhs who have specific positions regarding their students, or their followers as they call them. In that case, we consider such modesty a stain of shame for us, because this person, who is referred to and unknown to you and to us all, praise be to Allah, is criticizing our channel and trying to equate us with other Shaykhs, and this should not be done.
What about others?
