The term defines the extent of ‘حَيَاءَ’ (bashfulness and modesty) within families at home and/or while interacting with other public members. Observing the limits of ‘ Mahram and Na-Mahram are for our own benefits, i.e., to practice (Islamically) a healthy, comfortable and moderate lifestyle. The accursed Iblis -la does not affect our mental health and spiritual status, until and unless Islamic instructions are not violated.
For example, Imam Al-Baqir -asws says: ‘لَا إِيمَانَ لِمَنْ لَا حَيَاءَ لَهُ’ the one who has no bashfulness has no Eman. [1] Bashfulness is also covered in another article: http://hubeali.com/articles/Hijab%20for%20women%20and%20men.pdf .
