**Summary (not a quotation; machine-made, unchecked):** Mufti Abu Layth notes questions on fasting at work and on a hadith linked to Quran 4:159 to come back to, and thanks a supporter.

## Longer summary

Mufti Abu Layth reads several chat questions without answering them yet: whether one can stop fasting because of work, including a teacher who gets thirsty from talking, which he says he will take with the other fasting questions; and a request to publish a paper on why a hadith of Abu Hurayra connected to Quran 4:159 is weak, where he says he does not recall the verse by number and will check it. He acknowledges another question on a verse for later discussion and thanks a viewer whose super chat says they would not be Muslim today without him.

## Sources and names cited

- Quran 4:159 (as cited in a chat question): https://quran.com/4/159
- Abu Hurayra
