What this part covers
machinesummary, machine-writtenMufti Abu Layth welcomes Sudan's reforms: flogging today only damages Islam's message, FGM should be outlawed, and alcohol was never prohibited for non-Muslims.
In more detail
Mufti Abu Layth shares the news that Sudan is scrapping its alcohol and apostasy laws, so that non-Muslims may now drink alcohol, and ending flogging, while female genital mutilation is to be outlawed, which he says is about time. He says Muslims ought to be on board, and that flogging in this day and age does nothing but damage Allah, His Messenger and their message, pointing to his detailed videos on changing with the times. He says alcohol was never prohibited for non-Muslims anyway, and cites Ibn Ashur, the Maliki scholar through whom his own academic lineage passes, as writing that a Muslim whose non-Muslim parents drink alcohol should give them the money for it if they are struggling, since for them it is not haram.
Position stated
Mufti Abu Layth says flogging in this day and age is nothing but damaging to Allah, His Messenger and their message.
“this kind of thing in this day and age is nothing but just damaging to Allah and His Messenger okay and their message”

right so when's right what else let me see what else did I have actually for today I did have all right people want to share this as well since we're speaking of embracing new legal jurisdictions Sudan has a rule to scrap alcohol and apostasy laws so alcohol laws so especially for non-muslims they can now drink alcohol in Sudan and they will end flogging and with it also the FGM you know female genital
mutilation will become now outlawed about bloody time if you ask me so that's like I think this is you know something which really Muslims all ought to be on board but I suppose you know did I even this flogging and everything I've got detailed videos on how to do it change with the day and age this kind of thing in this day and age is nothing but just damaging to Allah and His Messenger okay and their message so here an alcohol was never prohibited for
non-muslims anyway how can you and even assure the great Maliki legend who I have my own heritage goes my kind of ill me academic Maliki heritage also goes through he threw chefs City boobs are eager sir are you dude so he also writes in his stuff see that a person if his non-muslim parents drunk alcohol it is his duty to provide them the money to be able to get it if they're struggling to get the money because that's because for
them it's not Haram right so I hope that makes sense let me just there's a super chair I missed do you feel the to the extent itself hand sing Huggies is a victory for I did not receive instant email wrestling sorry seems to emphasis on I can't seem to see what it's saying let me see if I can one moment seems to be kind of a bit blurred out for some reason I'm going back to it
