How touchy is the topic here
Advertising is prohibited or heavily restricted, and even implied drinking is a problem.
Pork imagery is offensive to the mainstream audience; halal is the default expectation.
Illegal or effectively unpublishable. Do not attempt with a workaround.
Dating apps operate, but marriage-oriented framing is the accepted register.
Criminalised or socially prohibited in most of these markets — public visibility endangers local staff and partners.
Prohibited; even 'lucky draw' mechanics can read as maisir.
Illegal, often with severe penalties. No wink-wink references.
Modest dress in all visuals; no revealing clothing, no unrelated men and women in intimacy.
Islam is never a creative device. Blasphemy law is real in several of these markets.
Do not comment on domestic politics, royalty or regional conflicts.
Interest-bearing framing conflicts with riba; Islamic-finance wording is the norm.
Keep it out entirely; grief is handled communally and privately.
Basis: derived from a Muslim-majority religion mix. Local legal review still wins.
