**Topics:** Views on contemporary scholars

**Question as asked:** What do you think of Dr Adnan Ibrahim?

**Summary (not a quotation; machine-made, unchecked):** Mufti Abu Layth admires Adnan Ibrahim as a voice of reason in the Arabic-speaking world whose message is close to his own and who is what a real imam should be.

## Longer summary

Asked what he thinks of Dr Adnan Ibrahim, Mufti Abu Layth calls him amazing and a proponent of the voice of reason in the Arabic-speaking world, based in Europe, and prays that God bless and preserve him. He says he does not watch him regularly, but the clips he sees are usually very similar to what he himself says, so Adnan Ibrahim is perhaps a more serious Arabic-speaking version of him. He describes him as serious, presentable and knowledgeable, always in the mosque reminding people of taqwa and iman, and says this is what a real imam ought to be like.
