yes this is I'm like I may actually this coming week I've got I'm very very preoccupied this coming week but I may have some time to do a bit of reading and I was thinking maybe of working my way through this book finally as the Roger motor the motor our marriage because I have given the ruling that I do believe mata is not Haram so is that why people are thinking that she I think it's not sure this is a written by a Sunni Maliki mark contemporary Moroccan scholar keratin JD de phil phik ELISA me

0:38

that a revised reading in the Sunni tradition nom nom Sunni yes am I trying to infiltrate the Shia Maki [Laughter] yato bus sorry monkey him yeah that's the words of John Elia one of my favorite poets he says yet Obus sorry

1:11

monkey mia ich Baker Baracus i I see that these kind of poems will will get me into that Shia audience now I think it's I really do believe that we need to build bridges we need to work together and oh right so that's not the thing to do don't know what just happened there whoa

1:55

Xaro Laila I don't know what they've been up to right so yeah but I really do believe we need to be building bridges we need to because the differences are irresolvable so we need to kind of get beyond them mostly do you have any tips on learning or duel did you see the BBC investigation on Mata I didn't you know but somebody mentioned it to me they said to me that had you I'm going I'm going to look out

2:33

for if it's on YouTube you see I don't believe that motor I'd like the person said well you see is this Islamist prostitution and things you see from that perspective I would condemn the concept you see I'm saying what are from the concept of the perspective that I've agreed with is the sense that you see two adults whatever they if they agree on let's say some companionship and things like this it's

3:12

nobody else's business in essence how to dictate to them what they are or aren't allowed it's two consenting people so I feel that from that perspective Islam did have this concept that everybody agrees all Muslims agree that it did have this concept of Mata and the difference is whether it was abrogated or not so people like even la siroque injury and people like if not assure the great malik in which date of the last century and another people felt that it wasn't and the shia of course as well

3:50

agree you know that's this is not really really a shia issue but it's been kind of tainted that way that this is some kind of Shia Sunni split it's not but yeah so I see it more from the perspective of choice and liberty and freedoms and people having the right to you know it's even if it because there are a lot of challenging problems in this day and age many reasons and and yeah and I've addressed this in the past as well saying these things like relation when it comes to relationships

4:28

how do people even assess things like like sexual compatibility for example how would people even come to assess that or what if people did not want a long-term relationship does religion not give the freedoms and I've just argued that in line with those scholars that I believe it does that's all so that's the the perspective but from me if one is to look at it from the lens of trying to say well this is about prostitution then that I would condemn and I would in line

5:07

with all the scholars that condemn that I would condemn that so that's not the angle of Matata these ulema have advocated and that's not the angle that I would advocate so right
