What this part covers
machinesummary, machine-writtenMuslims should be able to disagree about Islam without insults or takfir, since everyone is seeking the truth.
In more detail
Mufti Abu Layth says that we are all seeking the truth and treading the same path, and that he seeks it as much as anyone. Noting that someone has just mocked his beard, he says he respects that others disagree with his interpretation and would wholeheartedly disagree back, but asks not to be judged as following the devil or his desires. He cites the hadith that one should not oppress or wrong one's brother, and urges gentleness towards fellow travellers who are also trying to arrive at what they believe to be true. His request is that Muslims be able to talk about Islam among themselves without insults, labels or declaring one another kafir.
Position stated
Mufti Abu Layth says Muslims who disagree on interpretation should treat each other gently as fellow seekers of the truth, without labels or takfir.
“disagree all you like but we as Muslims can at least talk about Islam amongst ourselves don't kind of insult throw labels try to declare each of the kaffir”
