What this part covers

machinesummary, machine-written

Mufti Abu Layth praises a critic's civility, clarifies that he objects to attacks on his qualification rather than seeking a title, and says that not wanting music or dancing before one's daughters does not make them haram.

In more detail

Mufti Abu Layth says people who disagree need not be clones of each other or take digs, and that there is no shortage of space in paradise. He ends on a comment by Shaykh Abdul Majid [?], whom he takes to be a Salafi-oriented scholar from London, originally from India, who made a clip disagreeing with him yet, he says, was the most sensible public voice in the whole discourse, asking why people could not simply accept this as a scholar's research and a difference of opinion. He clarifies a point the shaykh raised: he never asked to be called Mufti, but objected that opponents attack his qualification rather than his opinion, like discrediting a doctor's licence instead of his prescription. He says he would be honoured to meet him for a discussion rather than a debate. On the shaykh's question whether, having quoted al-Shawkani on some of the Salaf and dancing girls, he would allow such things in front of his daughters, he calls this an emotional argument: not wanting something in front of one's children does not make it haram, as with romance between spouses, since everything has its time and place, and he does not consider these things haram.

2:25:24

humble you know you can take them either with you know you can keep them or you can let them go I've got no issue I am Allah he there are people my own friends disagree with me on several things my own students my teachers I have no I'm not about that blind following mentality I'm not about that you know these people I've got I don't belong to any group but I've got people I've got students I've got friends who are Sufi are salafi who are these things who do they disagree with me entirely on these things but it doesn't matter no no we're not clones of each other you know we can still talk laugh have a job discuss

2:26:02

things I don't need to take digs at each other we don't need to share things to just Hey look at this you know this person saying this about him this person saying that you know oh this guy you know oh look what Shay because you're a Maliki here's a Maliki scholar calling this Kufa come on guys behave there's no shortage in paradise I'm sure you can squeeze me in you know they say Lord okay dill major garnet a yeah yeah there should be some space in the house and I want to actually I read a really nice comment by a ship i watched the clip and

2:26:40

i want to end it on this note buy a share I just came across his name chef Abdul Majid and I believe he's from London I don't know ways from I think he's kind of like Salafi oriented I'm not sure entirely from India I watched the clip he made a clip dedicate it to me so obviously but I have to say I don't fully understand he was saying that he disagrees with me on stuff and that's all fine but I found this guy to be one of the most sensible people in this whole discourse that that's that's publicly commenting on this right now wallahi like for somebody who disagrees

2:27:19

with me he had the most of it and he made a post saying look guys he said look why can't you just accept of this to be a relates opinion and a difference of opinion like why can't why are we going all mad at each other okay this is his opinion he's a scholar it's his research except they don't accept what's the big thing and this coming from somebody who so seems so different so I was honored I mean if Cher Abdul Majid to see this he mentioned about you mentioned about explaining one two things maybe another time we can explain I didn't by the way he commented about

2:27:57

saying that he wants people to say he's a Mufti to say I think you misunderstood me what I said in my previous talk was not that I want people to say nifty Mufti mostly I did not say that that was probably misunderstood by the share what I said is that when people disagree with me the first thing they do they start discrediting that I can't be a Mufti they start saying this guy ain't no Musti so my whole point was why not why you gotta be like that man that was my whole point that why did you have to be so like like if you're a doctor and now you you give a certain you say look I want to try this medicine

2:28:36

I go huh you're not even a qualified doctor anymore so you're telling you're following that this guy is an illegitimate doctor like you're playing dirty tactics why are you doing that why don't you just discredit my opinion rather than trying to attack my qualification that was what I meant so just to clarify that I wasn't saying that you have to call me Musti Musti Jesse out Chinese of garbage is the other day you know it's other thing is and he said about meeting him in the future I would love to in shalmar it would be an honor they're all huzzah avenge Allah Sarang compared for you and just as a discussion no just not as a

2:29:16

debate or anything just to generally meet up with you I think you seem like an amazing cool kind of person and I love the fact that you know this whole Mumbai Bombay thing about you huh bum bum bum a mom a boss that's on the whole I love that whole thing about you and I am truly honored and inshallah we can meet her he asked me some question about my music thing and all of these would I agree with he said that would he take the time to respond to that about me quoting show Connie and saying okay I quote it basically I quoted Cho Connie quoting some of the Salaf who had

2:29:53

dancing girls and stuff like this and he said well would Mufti take the time out to answer this that okay would you forget about right or wrong or halal or Haram but would you allow that in front of your daughters and stuff like this and I mean I think these are emotional arguments right I think obviously people we wouldn't you know there's many things as human beings we would do as human beings but we wouldn't want to do in front of our children you know I like type I all da boss it doesn't mean I consider these

2:30:30

things haram because I don't but it's there about its it's obviously each you know they could limit Amon Mahal as in Arabic everything has its time and place you know people it's like saying you know what in romance how you do how you'd be and stuff would you be like that in front of your kids doesn't you know everything has a time and place so obviously just because you wouldn't do things in front of certain people doesn't mean that you consider those things wrong I think that that's a different place for everything obviously I wouldn't appreciate these things in front of let's say my daughters as they grow up and stuff like but that's

2:31:09

obviously everybody's preference as like as a father you wouldn't think like that and you wouldn't want to think like that about your daughters or stuff like this or or let's say your sisters or stuff but you know anyway I think you get the gist of what I'm trying to say but cool other than that people to all of you this has been a bit of an extended session I think it was much needed I really appreciate your patience hanging out there just listening to me Shalala if you are on I will by the way in the future discuss things like miracles look it's not that I deny miracles but I
