How touchy is the topic here

AlcoholDon't

Advertising is prohibited or heavily restricted, and even implied drinking is a problem.

Pork & beefDon't

Pork imagery is offensive to the mainstream audience; halal is the default expectation.

Adult / sex-positiveDon't

Illegal or effectively unpublishable. Do not attempt with a workaround.

Dating & romanceCareful

Dating apps operate, but marriage-oriented framing is the accepted register.

LGBTQ+ visibilityDon't

Criminalised or socially prohibited in most of these markets — public visibility endangers local staff and partners.

Gambling & bettingDon't

Prohibited; even 'lucky draw' mechanics can read as maisir.

Cannabis / vapeDon't

Illegal, often with severe penalties. No wink-wink references.

Skin & body imageryDon't

Modest dress in all visuals; no revealing clothing, no unrelated men and women in intimacy.

Religion as a deviceDon't

Islam is never a creative device. Blasphemy law is real in several of these markets.

Politics & activismDon't

Do not comment on domestic politics, royalty or regional conflicts.

Debt, credit, cryptoCareful

Interest-bearing framing conflicts with riba; Islamic-finance wording is the norm.

Death & illness humourCareful

Keep it out entirely; grief is handled communally and privately.

Basis: derived from a Muslim-majority religion mix. Local legal review still wins.
