The answer in brief

machinesummary, machine-written

Mufti Abu Layth says that, though the verses are general, Surah al-Munafiqun referred at the time to the hypocrites of Medina.

In more detail

Answering a question about whether men may wear earrings, Mufti Abu Layth refers viewers to his detailed video on the subject. A question then asks who Surah al-Munafiqun is actually referring to. He offers to go through the verses in detail the following week, but says in general that, although the verses are general, at the time they would have referred to the hypocrites within Medina.
