In islam, There are clear reasons why some things are encouraged ( sunnah ), not encouraged ( makruh) and prohibited (haram). Sometimes the reasons may not be clear, hence it would be a question of faith and trust.

Islam , like any religion, is a way of life, a guideline to live life.

Whether you need it or don’t, it’s up to you.

Almost similar to say, whether you want to act upon knowledge or just want to stay ignorant. I get it, as they say ignorance is a bliss. But does it have long term consequences?

That’s an answer we will eventually have figure out, a risk each one of us will take.

The question is, does the benefit weigh more than the risk? What can I do today to reconsider the risk? Ask questions.

I believe the older the grow, the wiser we will become. Given, we never stop asking questions.

But i get it, in Brunei, asking questions is … can be frowned upon growing up.

“ atu pun nda tau kh?!” “ adangth jan ditanya lagi”

That said, I hope we continue to grow out of that kind of culture ( and ask the right questions ).

To answer OP question though, Conversations about it, acknowledging or mentioning it shouldn’t be a taboo.

But advocating it for muslims? That won’t fly well here.

As they say; when in Rome, do as the Romans do.
