What this part covers

machinesummary, machine-written

Mufti Abu Layth did not feel Tariq Jamil was blaming women for the pandemic; he heard a call to self-examination in a calamity. Despite disagreements, he supports him as a caring voice for unity and reflection.

In more detail

Mufti Abu Layth says that, though he does not necessarily share Maulana Tariq Jamil's outlook, in all honesty he did not feel he was blaming women for the coronavirus; rather he was saying that in times of calamity people should return to God and inspect their own morals, their lies and dishonesty, halal earnings and the taking of bribes. He says the remarks on women, about who makes the daughters of the country dance and wear such clothes, took two or three minutes of a sixteen- or seventeen-minute talk, that he spoke of modesty in general, and that he said these things cannot be imposed but must come from the heart. He says he would personally support Tariq Jamil, whom he feels is one of the only scholars to have worked for unity among the sects, and recounts the speech's story of advising a media channel owner to stop telling lies. Even where he disagrees with him, for example if Tariq Jamil holds music to be haram, which Mufti does not, he feels such a caring voice calling people to reflect is important and necessary in society, and he did not feel he was being misogynistic.

[Music] which age here achieve and Jim Mahoney who Mediacom Jewish early very calm but the ante we're gonna be high h-hold barefoot on feet on Martin a three but right I want to play that clip so you can kind of make up your own mind on whether you've what you feel has kind of happened is he really those those comments all

5:58

this kind of hate that he's that he's been facing in my understanding honestly I look I don't necessarily generally have to agree in outlook with Maulana tariq jameel Saab but in all honesty I think that you see he didn't really I don't think I didn't feel that he was blaming women in saying that all this is woman's fault the corona virus has come but he was trying to say that look in times of calamity we need to return to this is what I felt that when to also use this as an opportunity to

6:37

inspect our own morals are we being truthful why are we full of lies why is there in the fight the final point although I didn't include much of that about risque Hillel that having halal means of income not kind of conning people not taking bribes and in between he mentioned about modesty now he did say that look who is it that makes the daughters of this country dance and who makes them do this and we're these kind of clothes and and then he does say that now look I would feel although we can disagree on certain things we can disagree on certain fifthly views we can sit but generally whether by and large

7:16

you agree or not I think some kind of approaches or some aspects are important in society that they whether we you know we we completely identify with it or not like him I can understand if he only goes on about women but he didn't and that most of that talk just that that was I think about a sixteen seventeen minute talk and that was just I think about three minutes or two minutes where he mentions about the women but he doesn't just say women he says look modesty is going and people are you know what's happening and then he says and

7:54

what can we do anyway you know you can never impose these are things which have to come from the heart I I would personally support Maulana tariq jameel Saab I I feel he is one of the only scholars that has ever worked for unity amongst different sects I feel that he is one of the only people to publicly on media say that look he said a great media channel person approached me and he said advise me and he said I said stop telling lies that was at the beginning of that speech and he said the person said well if I shut the lies down I might as well shut the channel down

8:32

he said the lies won't stop but the channel or you know will will come to an end and and I feel that even if I disagree with certain things like let's say him saying let's say he he feels music is haram let's say I don't know whether he does I think he may feel and I don't feel that music is Haram I would still feel that a person that kind of a voice that says certain things calls people to certain views even if they're different to my views but from a very caring kind of like angle I feel is important in society

9:12

you see I think because people whether we agree with the ins or outs they need these general reminders just to reflect I don't know that's what I I feel so even if I disagreed with Maulana tariq jameel on certain particulars but I would feel that as a universal that this kind of a voice is an important necessary voice in society you know something that makes people reflect something that makes people kind of think at times and I didn't feel that he was being misogynistic I'm being but that said he actually came on TV since
