The validity of the saying (there is no modesty in religion)
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The following phrase circulates on people’s tongues: “There is no modesty in religion”?
Answer:
This is correct in meaning, correct in the general sense, just as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said… just as the woman said to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): “Indeed, Allah is not shy of the truth, so does a woman have to perform the full ritual bath if she has a wet dream?” So the meaning of “there is no modesty in religion” is: there is no modesty that prevents asking, learning, and understanding the religion; modesty does not prevent this.
However, if the intended meaning is that there is no modesty in religion at all, that is not correct. The Messenger (peace be upon him) said: So the modesty that restrains one from sins is part of faith . The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Bulugh al-Maram 16:89.
But if the intended meaning is: “There is no modesty in religion” meaning that modesty does not prevent learning and asking; then this is correct. Modesty does not prevent you from asking about your religion and understanding it. So modesty is of two kinds: modesty that prevents understanding the religion, this is prohibited, it is not modesty. And the second kind of modesty: it prevents you from bad character and from sins, this is the required modesty, which the religion brought, as in the authentic hadith:Sahih Muslim 35b So the modesty that prevents evil is a branch of faith; for modesty is a great and noble trait, it prevents evil deeds and encourages good actions. Yes.
The presenter: May Allah reward you with good, and may He do you good.

الحياء من الإيمانModesty is part of faith
الحياء من الإيمانIf you don’t feel any shame, do whatever you like.

Faith has over seventy branches or over sixty branches, the most excellent of which is the declaration that there is no god but Allah, and the humblest of which is the, removal of what is injurious from the path: and modesty is a branch of faith.
الإيمان بضع وسبعون شعبة، فأفضلها قول: لا إله إلا الله، وأدناها: إماطة الأذى عن الطريق، والحياء شعبة من الإيمانThe presenter: May Allah reward you with good, and may He do you good.
