**Summary (not a quotation; machine-made, unchecked):** Mufti Abu Layth repeats his open challenge to Abdul Rahman Hassan and any Salafi imam to defend Salafi aqidah from the Quran alone, on MindTrap.

## Longer summary

Mufti Abu Layth shows a tweet in which he invited Abdul Rahman Hassan onto MindTrap for a discussion on aqidah, saying he may defend Salafi aqidah but only from the Quran, and challenging that he will not be able to. He says he also offered a discussion on Bukhari, while acknowledging that is a difficult topic for which some would say they lack the research. He extends the challenge to any Salafi imam to prove their aqidah from the Quran or Sunnah, naming critics by nicknames, and says he will return another week to another critic's latest episode.
