No Strings Nikah And Low Commitment Muslim Marriages | Mufti Abu Layth

I saw a I haven't watched a but there was a small clip like a a short from a uh discussion a podcast uh Tilly Hussein's podcast with um I've gotten the name of the guy I think it's it's it Madi something and it was about a new Muslim intimacy platform rather and I I it's called I think no strings Nika

and it's what it's saying is that basically to have a um an easy like a no a low commitment I guess that's it yeah so basic not even a low commitment just intimacy and companionship so I so this is so this is now the new craze okay right now

I can't I um I don't know how successful things like that would be I'm sure many men would be on there but from a female perspective I don't know although the need is there clearly so I guess if the need is there then it comes down to the simple laws of supply and demand um

interesting that would be right what what in what time what day and age are we living in people but I did you know well years ago when I spoke about the concept of low commitment for people who who felt the need for them not that this is for everyone to do but I said that this low commitment thing that when I spoke saying that there is According to some Sunni Scholars the concept of motor and and I did speak about that arguing that look there's

this does make sense obviously most people consider it haram and so if you consider it haram fine but these people don't consider it haram including ibna ashur the great Maliki legend of the 20th century so I had said well this would be a potential um Avenue for people as an answer to the Contemporary complexities that people are facing so it was deemed really um notorious and people were really upset I

don't know if they were upset but they were very condemning that I had said things like that but now it's interesting that as the day and age moves on more and more people are like well that but it would be I wonder how the pla is it all in it can't all be in secrecy so obviously people on it must know other people are on it I take it so they must be like you you yeah no no no this is uh this one I was just a tourism tourism

uh it's Gotta make for some uh interesting this person's on here as well laughs oh people [Music] Allah all right so what is going on I remember watching a video about robust so basically yep so yeah this had come up yeah oh that was his name Matthew is he linked to the journey

or is he I don't know actually this would be interesting I don't really know anything about this person I don't know whether he's inclined to the tijani tariqa and is he in that way not that he has to be learned or anything to open up a an app it is just I get it's I can see the angle that sees this as denigrating on disparaging I can see that angle people say well it's just

it's destructive to the values of of relationships and stuff like that see that I can also see that people the the other argument that people would say well this is clearly a need that people have and what are they supposed to do and and you could see well okay you could see that as well although I would guess that look people who are just going to do things or do things anyway they don't really need a platform but I guess it may be more so a struggle for

ironically I think maybe maybe or counter-intuitively more so a struggle for certain women who may be of a certain let let's say they find themselves in certain I don't know in certain structures in life where they don't really want a full y commitment relationship and maybe they just want some companionship and some intimacy but they want to like women's let's say they're focusing they have already have their families families

not as in their husband and that would be hilarious you go look I've already got my husband here they've got let's say children or and they've got careers and they as you can imagine I think relationships overall it's not even a Muslim issue I think relationships are just really difficult in our current times as a conceptually speaking we don't know what to what's happening with them because everything is so centered around love love love love love love

that and and it's not that there's anything wrong with that but it's that we're selling people we're selling people a impart in part we know what we are selling for more people is mythical in part at least because sure well first of all some people may never find that feeling feeling and because Society is so pushing this feeling that if you don't have this feeling of cloud nine and the one and then it's not the one and many people may never feel that in their lives okay so that well what about

these people they will always feel lacking so that's one issue the other issue is that well even if people do feel it like any feeling it will subside and then what then well now I'm out of this feeling what do I do now I need to and then Society tells them well if you don't still if you're not in love see so there's a difference with loving someone and being in love and sure maybe some people are and they manage to stay in love but I would I think it would be difficult to feel that that maybe that most of societies like

that I don't think most of society is in love in perpetuity like perpetually so so I just feel sorry for the pressure that these people face because then they're told oh then you need to wrap this up because you're living a lie and yes I just it's like damn you don't know what hmm like where is society but I hope that there's a a bit of everything you know there is that there is this that people do find let's say

somebody they find meaning with they find that love with if they can but if they don't at least they find meaning because they don't need to feel pressured and because ultimately what is love this is where the song comes on what is love ultimately what is it and if they find meaning that that's great and if they find pragmatism then that's great and if they find friendship then that's great and if they find but it's they they shouldn't be dictated to by the pressures of society

may Allah make it easy for each and all that tread that path what's the as the poet says that anybody oh there's no if you can come on this this kind of cobbled Rocky terrain of a path to reach this then most welcome but there is no moonlit passageway to my about
