Modesty in Gleaning

Is there any information in the laws of tznius about modesty in giving tzedakah. Particularly as relates to the owners of fields and gleaners?

Answer:

Not to my knowledge.

The Midrash and commentaries to Ruth note that Boaz saw how she was meticulous in matters of modesty when gleaning from the field. However, I do not know of Poskim who mention special halachos concerning this matter.

The general principles of tznius will apply.

Best wishes.
