What this part covers

machinesummary, machine-written

Mufti Abu Layth mocks a fiqh text saying the fast breaks when a substance reaches the stomach or brain through a 'direct channel'.

In more detail

Mufti Abu Layth says this is why people are disconnected, and shows a text someone sent him on what breaks the fast: the fast is not invalidated unless a substance reaches the stomach or brain through a direct, normal channel such as the mouth, nose, ears or rear passage. He mocks the idea of something reaching the brain through the ears, and imagines a student of such classes in a senior government meeting reacting to the phrase 'direct channel', which becomes a running joke for the rest of the stream.
