The answer in brief

machinesummary, machine-written

Mufti Abu Layth says he holds no hatred for Farid and would return respect if shown it, but answers public takfir against him with mockery and sees no reason to stop.

In more detail

Asked whether he would start peace talks with Farid [?], Mufti Abu Layth says there are very few people he has ever felt hatred for and that he does not hate or resent even those he mocks, including Farid, who calls him a kafir. He says he would immediately be respectful to anyone who was respectful to him, but that his opponents call him a disbeliever, a hidden apostate and a zindiq from pulpits, in podcasts and on Twitter. He recounts a sensible person messaging him to say his mocking videos were wrong, and says he replied that his opponents do worse in their own style, by publicly declaring him a kafir, while his style is to mock them and be funny. He says he sees no reason to stop, since it is fun, and moves on to the hadith topics.

everywhere you turn you find somebody with sympathy huh he says maybe there's a lot of actors who live around here but yes so uh salaam musti would you start peace talks with farid yeah i mean i you know i'm gonna be honest i there's very few people who i've had a kind of um you know like a hatred for them in my heart very few all these people that i've

even people like gangutilli now i call him gong because he calls me cafes but i'm being honest i don't hate i don't have hatred for him in my heart i honestly don't i i do obviously i have a joke and laugh and i mock him but i don't have this kind of resentment towards him if i think oh my god i hate him i don't honestly i don't i don't resent him i don't hate him i don't uh yeah i honestly they may have been i'm trying to think of some if the what some name there may have been one odd person throughout you know that i've ever like

felt that kind of resentment maybe they've kind of did something which was just totally unacceptable and i thought well you know in my books i can't i'm trying to think now who but um but these kind of people that all this that i do it's not in my heart wallahi and i'm not just saying this as a kind of sound good it really isn't in my heart um this kind of stuff is is because of what they've done if you know if they are respectful to me i would be immediately respectful to them immediately it's not like uh i i would be respectful if they were respectful to me

but because they treat me like i'm and they'll just treat me they call me a cafe and i hid an apostate and all these kind of things which which ain't ain't right you can't you know you shouldn't call people things like that i had somebody say to me you know why uh mufti you know why somebody very sensible and mature he kind of messaged me said look mufti you know

you make these kind of monkey videos and come on this is wrong and you know you need to like please and you know you shouldn't do this kind of stuff and look my point was i said to the person look chad and these people they do worse but they do it in their way their way is to get on the pulpit and call me a kafir and to say in the podcast that i'm a disbeliever to tweet that i'm a non-muslim to call me as indeek on twitter and see this is their style

they will publicly write these kind of words because it fits that thing me i i won't call them a car fear or something i will just mock them and it'll just be funny but this is my style obviously they they can't do this because they couldn't be funny if their life depending on it [Music] anyway so that's why you know two people say why do you include these why don't you kind of stop but why should i

you can't stop something if it's you know mazara it's fun so right let's move on people let's move on what were some of the other topics right okay hadith people had check this out now i had discussed something about called the um the kind of bounce and ripple effect or the boomerang and ripple effect that basically a hadith when it's being said by let's say imam bukhari it could influence subconsciously other people and their hadiths in their books
