**Summary (not a quotation; machine-made, unchecked):** Mufti Abu Layth answers a chat question about the music he listens to.

## Longer summary

Asked what music he is into, Mufti Abu Layth describes a mix: classic Bollywood songs, qawwali such as Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan and, in the past, Aziz Mian, and instrumental tracks for working out, and says he does not really listen to Celine Dion. He then goes to play the clip of Dr Umar Faruq Abdullah, finds he has not uploaded it and searches for it.
