He says the banning of Trump from Twitter is interesting: he supposes it was done because Trump could cause a revolution, but says he does not know how he feels about it given freedom of speech. Turning to Facebook questions, he says he has not switched from WhatsApp to Signal, and answers briefly that reciting Surah Ya Sin in the morning for blessings is not a sunnah. He jokes about confessions and a question on eating meat at Jewish dinner parties. ## Sources and names cited - Twitter - Donald Trump - Surah Ya Sin: https://quran.com/36 ## Transcript (machine tier, 25:46–30:07) [25:09] um in some ways it's a saw you know this is what and the school shooting thing is an example i mean can you imagine how that just the thought of that that children are being shot it's like sends shivers down you know and and yet unfortunately tragically it's become somewhat uh casualized but anyway my love to the united here's the dollars geogeoge right so let's move on people let's move on [25:46] so um nice to bear nice to be over here myself that was a statement from mustafa abdullah tkr anybody else want to just make general statements [Laughter] this is uh what my this is what my show has now become people just coming on making [26:23] generic statements tiga don't mind me me me me me me not all about me so what is going on the trump twitter thing is interesting banning trump um it's interesting isn't it because um because i suppose they did it because he could cause a revolution and they probably want to stop that but you know freedom of speech is a i don't know i don't know how i feel about that [27:02] i need a few more butcher so what is going on let's take a look at some of the questions on facebook as well somebody said yeah you're neglecting us facebook people i love you guys how can i neglect you [27:33] has mufia blades switched from whatsapp to signal yet no i haven't actually salaam mufti abu leith i have a few questions on surahs of the quran is it a sunnah to recite surah yah sin in the morning to earn blessings no it's not a sunnah to do that no you should react to confessions anybody want to make a confession that'll be an interesting one let's react to some confessions guys let's get some confessions up here all right let's do this people [28:10] the ban is censorship yeah i agree yeah yeah love all of you as well you're doing it you're doing it is it halal for muslims to eat meat at jews eat it at jews [Laughter] take that you do [28:46] i don't know even the jewish guy is like i don't care even he gets confused he's like i'm sure i'm supposed to be getting upset at this but i don't know why i mean we've got to take a look at this question has asked is it halal for muslims to eat meat attitudes i don't know man or christian dinner party [29:20] in that energy going to dinner parties you think we don't know what happens at these parties pate let's partay so right let's take a look at some of your questions people s miyagi mr miyagi hip sensei has sent in a question dwas requested uh hadamay this major surgery still struggling ## Cite Mufti Abu Layth Archive, segment 1zgHntbMPis/s/5. https://muftiabulayth.org/r/1zghntbmpis/s/5/ Not a fatwa: these answers were given to specific people at specific times.
