**Topics:** Debate challenges and reviews; Salafism and Wahhabism; Creed and the schools of theology

**Summary (not a quotation; machine-made, unchecked):** Mufti Abu Layth invites Abdul Rahman Hassan, and any Salafi imam, to discuss aqidah or Bukhari on MindTrap, challenging them to prove the Salafi creed from the Quran and Sunnah alone.

**Checked position (checked by two independent reviews, not by the channel):** Mufti Abu Layth says his challenge is that Salafi imams will not be able to prove their aqidah from the Quran or Sunnah alone.

**Evidence, his words at 12:03:** “any salafi Imam on the rakida that we can have a discussion they have to be able to prove there are either just from the Quran or Sunnah and Mike challenge is that they won't be able to” (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KrIGi3OmJD4&t=723s)

## Longer summary

Mufti Abu Layth shows a tweet in which he invited Abdul Rahman Hassan onto MindTrap for a discussion on aqidah, saying the Salafi aqidah may be defended but only from the Quran and Sunnah, and that his challenge is that it cannot be. He says he also offered a discussion on Bukhari, while acknowledging that this is a difficult topic and that he does not want to be seen picking on people who lack the research. He says he has made the same challenge to any Salafi imam: they must prove their aqidah from the Quran or Sunnah alone, and he holds that they will not be able to. He says the offer is open to anyone, including critics he refers to by mocking nicknames, and says he will return to one of them on another Monday night.
