If there is no Modesty then do whatever you want
By Mohammad Rafique Etesame
Narrated Abu Huraira:
The Prophet PBUH said, "Faith (Belief) consists of more than sixty branches (parts). And Haya (modesty) is also a part of faith.
This Hadith reveals that Eman consists of more than sixty branches and modesty i.e. shyness, bashfulness and humility is also a part of faith. It means that if a faithful believer has these qualities, then he will stop himself from committing bad actions i.e. adultery, telling a lie, accepting bribery, dacoit and insulting others etc. Because in this way, he will keep in mind that Allah is Omnipresent and Seeing me what I am doing. The holy Prophet PBUH said that," If you have no modesty than do whatever you want" (Al-Mishkat). It means that if there is no modesty, then one sets him free from any fear of accountability and does whatever he wants good or bad actions.
So a Muslim should think particularly in the time of loneliness that whatever he/she is doing and should act the teachings of Islam so that he might be successful in this world and also in the Hereafter.
