Silence For Avoiding Problem
Silence is better than giving a wrong opinion under societal pressure. But if in some situation, under extreme societal or family pressure, one opts a traditional view point but didn’t mean it, just to avoid repercussions, hopefully his excuse will be considered. But one should never himself become a part of such view if it is an innovative/polytheistic ritual or something along the same lines. Secondly, it depends whether it is just a matter of application (‘ Fara ‘)or something which relates to faith/pillars of Islam (‘ Usul ‘). If it’s the former, then accountability criteria should logically be less severe.
