machinesummary, machine-written

Mufti Abu Layth lists degrees in psychology and education, an alim and mufti course and ijazahs, but says degrees mean little to him.

In more detail

A chat question asks about Mufti Abu Layth's educational background. Mufti says degrees honestly mean little to him, then lists a bachelor of science in psychology, which he took out of passion, a postgraduate teaching qualification, a master's in education, an alim course equivalent to a master's in Arabic and Islamic studies in Pakistan, his mufti course with ijazahs in the major hadith books, and an ijazah with a chain in the Quran. He says his respect for research begins at PhD level.
