Shame is necessary not only for women, but also for men....

It is very important to maintain shame in Islam.
.
"Narrated Abu Huraira: The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said that there are more than sixty branches of faith.
***And 'Haya'(self-respect, modesty bashfulness, honour etc.) is a branch of faith.*** "[1]
.
But many people think that it only applies to women. This idea is not correct. If a shameless woman becomes the cause of obsessive attraction to a man, why would not any brazen man become the cause of sexual attraction to a woman?
.
Allah has warned us about the shame of men before pronouncing about the shame of women in the Qur'an.
.
"Say to the **believing men** that they should lower their gaze and guard their modesty: that will make for greater purity for them: And Allah is well acquainted with all that they do.
.
And say to the **believing women** that they should lower their gaze and guard their modesty; that they should not display their beauty and ornaments except what (must ordinarily) appear thereof...."[2]
.
.
"Narrated 'Abdullah (bin 'Umar): Once Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) passed by an Ansari (man) who was admonishing to his brother regarding Haya'. On that Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said,
.
***"Leave him as 'Haya'(self-respect, modesty bashfulness, honour etc.) is a part of faith."***[3]
.
Again, to show the importance of deen(Islamic way of life), shame is compared to well get-up (which is not the reason of impure attraction).
.
"Narrated Abu Said Al-Khudri: Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said,
"While I was sleeping I saw (in a dream) some people wearing shirts of which some were reaching up to the breasts only while others were even shorter than that. Umar bin Al-Khattab was shown wearing a shirt that he was dragging."
***The people asked, "How did you interpret it? (What is its interpretation) O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)?" He (the Prophet (ﷺ) ) replied, "It is the Religion.***"[4]
.
.
So the importance of shame in Islam is immense. When shame is abolished, there is no barrier to obscene acts.
.
Allah commands firmly in the Qur'an:
.
".....and do not go near shameful acts, whether they are open or secret; and do not kill a person whom Allah has given sanctity, except rightfully. This He has enjoined upon you, so that you may understand."[5]
