**Summary (not a quotation; machine-made, unchecked):** Mufti Abu Layth skips a music question he cannot make sense of and laughs off a jibe that his earring and necklace make him look like a woman.

## Longer summary

Mufti Abu Layth reads a chat question on the history of the ruling that music is haram, says several times that he does not understand what is being asked, and moves on. He then reads a jibe asking why he looks like a woman, with an earring and a necklace, and answers with jokes about the questioner's eyesight. He mocks those who wear a frock, sandals and eyeliner yet say a necklace makes a man a woman, and remarks on 'the joys of being a Wahhabi'.
