In it, the speakers say they cannot call the imam in question a kafir, but that he is certainly a fasiq, arguing that taking part in what they call a shirki ritual is worse than being filmed drinking alcohol and asking whether such a man is fit to be an imam. The captions do not clearly separate the voices, and some remarks, such as praise for the studio's neon lighting, seem to be Mufti's. Mufti then explains that the clip is about Omar Suleiman. ## Sources and names cited - Dawah Man - Daniel Haqiqatjou - Omar Suleiman - 'Pagan-gate': the row over Omar Suleiman and a libation ritual at a border protest (2020) - fasiq ## Transcript (machine tier, 2:25:06–2:27:01) [2:24:26] so right so yeah yeah it's been incorporated into no it's not yeah i know it's not you know it's not the slang that i make that i was so surprised by it was just that the video goes through a bunch of people sitting down they're just having casual conversations but i was just kind of like whoa that every single person was speaking like that like i didn't i expected some people but i expected most to just speak normally but every single person amongst themselves was like that which was quite funny to watch they're all like that like they go to this pier and they're doing the same thing you go to this p and they're doing the same [2:25:06] amanda so i just found that a bit funny but yeah anyway my point there was actually to rate his marketing i thought you know what he's got he's got some brains behind him but unfortunately he just doesn't use them in religion or maybe he does use them and this is purposely doing what he does that brings us on people from speaking of power man to our remember man's islam we can't say his absence you can't say he's a catholic one thing that's for certain for certain is that the guy is a facet were there drinking like we had footage of them drinking alcohol would we accept that no right and this [2:25:44] is [ __ ] this is much worse than that no this is worse than that this is worse so he's so so and that's and that's i think that wallahi i have no doubt in my mind now even his studio here i got to say i like it you know i like the way he used to be um the guy is a fan designing the neon light maybe he's not a catholic but he's definitely and is a fast fit to be an imam is he fit to be a person you take your knowledge this is the tag team that is forming tag team for me some people might feel uncomfortable that i've said that well like they might really feel uncomfortable that iran you can't say that what do you mean that guy is letting people like if he is you would call you would think [2:26:23] he's a faster if he allowed people to drink alcohol smoke we'd stab each other kill each other rape each other and not do anything and stand by and watch he'd allowed [ __ ] to take place and then he participated in a shitty ritual and then he says what it's a lapse and you're telling me he's not a facet your life this and fujor is this he doesn't go below that so to have a man like well it's problematic so that what you saw there was a um an interview between a tag teaming effort between sorry that's we're gonna come to that in just a moment ## Cite Mufti Abu Layth Archive, segment jTYEM-eEe78/s/24. https://muftiabulayth.org/r/jtyem-eee78/s/24/ Not a fatwa: these answers were given to specific people at specific times.
