How can one respond to those who advocate openness to globalization in raising children and adolescents, on the pretext that it is necessary, by seeking evidence from the Quran and Sunnah?
It is permissible to discuss matters that are usually considered embarrassing with youth, to the extent necessary to achieve a legitimate religious objective, such as teaching them purification rituals or treating an illness. It is preferable, whenever possible, to use euphemisms. It is narrated in a Hadith that Umm Sulaym asked the Prophet, peace be upon him, about a woman performing ghusl (ritual bath) if she experiences a wet dream. He replied: "Yes, if she sees water." Aisha said: "How excellent were the women of the Ansar! Their modesty did not prevent them from seeking understanding in religious matters." In the story of the woman who asked about the ghusl after menstruation, the Prophet, peace be upon him, instructed her to take a piece of musk to purify herself with it, which indicates the desirability of using euphemisms in matters related to private parts. Al-Hafiz Ibn Hajar mentioned that the Prophet's Hadith, in which he mentioned that he was in a state of major ritual impurity (junub), indicates that there is no shyness in matters of religion, and there is no harm in narrating what does not invite immorality.
