**Question as asked:** Do a Mind Trap with Muhammad Hijab.

**Summary (not a quotation; machine-made, unchecked):** Mufti Abu Layth would welcome Mohammed Hijab on Mind Trap but doubts he would risk it, and would be glad to host Shaykh Imran Hosein.

## Longer summary

After thanking a super chat, Mufti Abu Layth reads a request to do a Mind Trap with Mohammed Hijab. He says he would love to, but does not know if Hijab would be keen: given his backing and his image as an intellectual of the dawah scene, his circle would accuse him of giving a deviant a platform, as another preacher once tried to bully him over whom he hosted on his own show. Mufti adds that a conversation would be a gamble for Hijab, since coming off short-changed would at least damage his reputation, so it is probably not a risk worth taking for him. Asked about Shaykh Imran Hosein, he says that would be interesting and he would be glad to have him on.
