The answer in brief

machinesummary, machine-written

Mufti Abu Layth says most of the Jesus debate questions are answered in his long reply, and that the shaykh he answered has substance but is torn between his views and his following.

In more detail

Mufti Abu Layth first reads a comment that early Muslims had less empirical knowledge and that Islam must therefore be reinterpreted by empiricism, and begins to say he would not put it that way. He then reads a comment from a viewer who is a fan but disappointed over the Jesus debate, and says most of those questions are answered in his reply to the shaykh, Yasir Qadhi [?], some five hours of material, with a few points still to come in a series. He says people like that shaykh have at times done disappointing work but have substance and are not hate preachers who go around calling people kafir, unlike those he mocks and blocks. He says the shaykh seems to be struggling to reconcile what he truly holds with keeping his following, and that in his place he would come out as he is, since people would come to him for his honesty.

somebody's saying i'm a big fan of mufti but i'm disappointed i live to disappoint ya that's my style you know as far as the jesus debate thing is concerned yes all of those questions uh most of them have already been answered in uh my address to shaykh there's probably what like about you've got about five hours of watching the so you'll actually find most the questions answered and there's a few things still left in the shaykh thing which i haven't yet got to which i will be doing so this topic of jesus

that's pretty much all answered and there is some still because i when i began my disclosure with the big d i listed many things i haven't done them all yet but inshallah those i'll do as well because i do want that to be a whole series but that is addressing obviously the video that sheikh hasadhi made because you see look there's people out there like shaykh the other people as well who you know i think have done some disappointing work unfortunately at times but to be fair they do have content you know they they are who they are for themselves

and they're not hate preachers you know they're not people who uh whether they have certain things within them or not but they they don't generally for the most part go around just being subsumed by calling people cafe cafe cafe cafe cafe cafe cafe cafe people like that you know those people you just mock and block that's it you don't dignify those people because they crave and then they then they die for your attention people like that are extinct you know like i said you know you give movements like that five years

they won't even really exist but shaykh assad obviously is a man of you know he does have substance he does have his own views obviously i feel that he's he's kind of really struggling to be honest with him with what he truly has within and at the same time maintain his following so he's kind of going about it in a very you know difficult way obviously if i was in his i i've got a whole video explaining that my thoughts on sheikh hassan journey if i was him i would just come out

straight as i am i would just say look listen this is me these are my views and people may leave me but others will then come to me based on honesty and transparency and i think that's still his biggest struggle uh this fareed guy made a whole trailer about you and when i see when i search your name on twitter it's just this guy complaining about you he must secretly be in love with you [Laughter] there is you've hit it on the head you
