**Summary (not a quotation; machine-made, unchecked):** Housekeeping: greetings, sound checks and the announcement that the Hagia Sophia and the Islamabad temple will be discussed tonight.

## Longer summary

Mufti Abu Layth opens with the praise of Allah and blessings on the Prophet, greets viewers in several languages and spends several minutes adjusting the sound and the layout of the Facebook and YouTube comments. A family member briefly says salaam to viewers. He announces that he will discuss the Hagia Sophia, or Aya Sofya, and the Islamabad mandir tonight. A stretch of about a minute and a half is almost empty in the captions, and a chat question about a man marrying four sisters is read out but not answered.
