What this part covers

machinesummary, machine-written

The guest says some muftis take concessions such as the Ahl al-Hadith view on triple talaq for themselves while giving people harsh rulings, citing an account about a mufti in his neighbourhood.

In more detail

Mufti Abu Layth says he felt sorry for the couple in the breast-milk case, imagining them separated. The guest relates a second-hand account from his neighbourhood in Karachi about a local mufti who, after pronouncing a triple talaq in anger, obtained a fatwa from the Ahl al-Hadith through an elderly man there; the guest says he was himself later banned from that mosque. Mufti says such rulings ruin families and destroy homes through the stubbornness of fiqh. The guest says that such muftis, when they fall into trouble, use all the concessions themselves, but in their fatwas to the public they fear-monger. The individual is not named here because the account concerns a private family matter.
