right foes motabi uh asks mufti why is al muatta disregarded by salafis you know that's a very good question um i feel that the selfies because they i think deep down the salafi struggle with imam malik because imam malik you see on one hand he is an absolute dawn of hadith you cannot question imam malik when it comes to hadith but on the other hand he's somebody who equally rejects hadith when it goes against certain practices

0:40

so they struggle with this because imam malik and his mata he says you know hadith we won't act upon this he brings the hadith and then says we won't act on it [Laughter]
