## Longer summary

Before moving to jinn possession, Mufti Abu Layth takes quick chat comments. He agrees with a viewer that the short sellers must buy back the shares they shorted, as in his example. Mufti appoints several new moderators to mark the 200th session, jokes with viewers, and declines to offer an opinion on Zimbabwe or a marriage question. Asked when Shaykh Atabek will return, Mufti promotes his latest Mind Trap with him, covering mortgages, cultish dogmatism among clerics and Shaykh Atabek's earlier debate.

## Transcript (machine tier, 2:36:33–2:45:28)

[2:36:12] So these kind of things are not haram as far as the world is concerned. Yes, ultimately there will be certain, you know, there will be certain people who are always playing some games and doing things. That's just the way of the world, right? So, let's uh let's move on people. Let's move on.

[2:36:33] Right. So, that's I did want to cover gin possession people. Gin possession. But were there any quick questions to take before I move on to that? Stop banning me and my wife Kali auntie please. Goracha and Kali auntie sal [laughter] right let me check what the Facebook people are up to.

[2:37:03] Facebook Mente. What awesome. [snorts] Right. So, yep. Uh supporter replying said it's not because a large number of people are buying the stock.

[2:37:33] that they're buying it and holding it. Yeah, but buying it obviously if you buy it and you don't sell it, it is obviously a genius [laughter] manu the shorters have to buy the shares they shorted back. Obviously that's what I was giving the example when I was saying look if I sell this now then I have to buy them back.

[2:37:59] Remember that's what I was saying. And obviously if the price has hyperinflated then I'm at a loss because if I have to buy it back to repay it and you know I could lose millions because you don't understand the the hedge funds that that are involved. I mean this is they're not trading at a low level. This is Hannah says we're super well behaved. Muti [laughter] are there any hadith?

[2:38:26] All right. Salim says namaskarum. All right. All right. All right. Salam mi a question. Right. What is going on? What is going on? All right. So, people seem to be chilled, right? Let's see. What are some of the YouTube questions? Uh, how can I transfer my stocks onto there from Robin Hood?

[2:38:56] [laughter] Acha. That's the concern, huh? That's the concern. I'm trying to teach you guys about the dean. [laughter] [gasps] Right. So, Mhm. Look, see, Fahad Alam says, "My how are you?" Look at that. see a person who's who's concerned about my well-being right there whilst all the other haramis are distracted.

[2:39:29] He's uh saying how are you? I'm good. I'm good. Alhamdulillah. [laughter] Look at this. There you go, Emmy. Emmy goes, "Make me a mod." There you go, Emmy.

[2:39:55] You're a mod. [laughter] Yeah. Somebody had made a a post saying, you know, if or sorry, they sent me a message saying, you know, if Muy Abu was was stocks, I'd buy so many shares [laughter] because of, you know, his legacy for the future. I was like, he said, I hope you live to see your legacy.

[2:40:20] I was like emotional. [laughter] I get the emotional, you know, this one. This one not nice. No, it's right. So, that's uh Look at all of this. Can I have this status back, please?

[2:40:44] Please. Yeah. Okay, that's enough for today now. Right. I've done two what? Three mods today. Yeah. This is because it's the 200th episode. [laughter] So, what is going down?

[2:41:13] There you go. So, yeah. Okay. All these [laughter] Mis everyone except me except me. You know what?

[2:41:41] Yeah. Gio, look at this final one. That's it now. Enough done for today. Karima, I've put you on as well. There you go. Right. So right now people, what's your opinion on Zimbabwe? That's a rather odd question. What's your opinion on Zimbabwe? [laughter] I don't know if I have an opinion on Zimbabwe.

[2:42:09] Hell yeah. Of course you do. Of course. What does a mod do? [laughter] What does a mod do? mod. Ah, it gives you ultimate. It gives you prestige. You if anybody's talking out of line, you can put them straight and you can uh just make sure you know there's control.

[2:42:35] Right. So, uh, right. What is going on? So many new mods. Well, that's good, you know, because sometimes I do these surprise visits. I just come on and you know and sometimes my timings but there's always somebody at some part of the globe that's that's awakened. So now these people are quite diverse right now. What is going on?

[2:43:03] Mods can't time out of the mods. Lol [laughter] Miy if they ban me they ban me for quoting you here. No, don't ban Abu Safur for quoting me. [laughter] All right.

[2:43:29] So, what is going down? [snorts] Mi Gur Chacha says Miy should I marry a Hyra Hyderraadi? Should I marry a Hyderabadi women? I think you mean a woman. Hyderabadi. Should Gur Chacha [laughter] marry a chachi from Hyderabad?

[2:43:52] Well, I don't know. We could run a poll. You send in your picture [laughter] and then we'll do our analysis of whether or not. Right. So Karima say I'm going to ban all the men on here. Noba Karima control this one.

[2:44:22] No manhating. You can't be manhating. There's only hate on those people who are who are out of order. Don't hate on this one. Too much too much. Right. So what is going on? When MUI when is atab returning? Those of you that haven't watched my uh latest mine trap people, it was with Sheh Atabek. Do check it out.

[2:44:48] It It was reasonably I mean short compared to the general mind traps, but it wasn't that short. I mean it was over an hour and a half long. I think 1 hour 35 minutes. But uh it was incredibly fascinating and an amazing opportunity to get Shehabek on. We discussed many things from mortgages from Shehikh Atabik's perspective to culture mulvies and the you know kind of cultish dogmatic uh hold on religion to uh Shehabek's debate or discussion with the beloved sheh.

[2:45:27] [laughter] So do check it out people. Definitely check it out and like it, share it. Spread the love people. Spread the love. So uh Ramy said, "I won't bore you with another harami question." [laughter] Ah, Ramy, you're doing it, man. That's a Ramy question. [laughter] You know, the worst is uh uh not this isn't aimed at the the SH himself, but I'm just saying the name uh Ramasur
