Sunni & Shia differences on Mutah, theological or political? - Mufti Abu Layth

yeah I don't I don't actually feel that the difference is honestly between Sunni and Shia are so huge I think it's just a historical perspective that's all on politics on leadership and stuff like that that's see because you know all these other things like I watch this debate a Shia friend he sent me a link to a discussion of his with a Suniya speakers corner speakers whatever they call it speaker's corner Hyde Park whatever so they were I watched not all of it but watch some of it and they were speaking and in between they were talking about Sunni Shia kind of different season and they kept bringing

up muta matara you know this temporary marriage and and obviously in all honesty if we're gonna be fair the Sunnis are unfair on this matter if we're gonna be if we're gonna be objective that they unfair in slating the Shia on Mataura temporary marriage because really what eyes to do with thick is to do with how we practice like the laws of Islam which is nothing to do with beliefs so motorize simply having a temporary marriage now whether you accept it or don't accept it is a matter

of fit it's not actually a matter of Eman and for some reason we've made it a matter of Iman and what the hell has it got to do with Iman and there's been many Sahaba who allowed maja coming right down to the likes of scholars like even our shul from you know the great Maliki legend people like this they allowed what I wasn't and today the Sunnis have this equivalent which in slang terms is called Nakia Nakia Messiah which is like a low commitment kind of marriage where it's just a what

I call one of Erik Erikson's stages in psychology in development which he says low commitment high exploration so these are like and Sunnis I think really to be honest with you if they open if if the Sunni scholars weren't that critical of muta let's be honest they would be on it like they would be madly on muta if we're just gonna be honest because all the Muslim circles seem to be discussing all the time he just marriage marriage marriage marriage marriage like massively Despres

deprived and depraved so let's just face it that you know so why are you bashing the Shiar muta that's sister I just find is it just a point of jealousy anyway let's move on let's move on all right so what's going on right I've done a bit of sharpening peoples and book shopping you can't really see my books yeah but loads all right you know I spoke last week about salable party and this research that I've been doing for a little while now somebody said muta is fun though I kind of wish Sony's believed in it too you believe

believe of course of course we are people of belief on that note there is a people who are interesting research on the topic of Mataura there is a recent Maliki scholar from Morocco who's published a whole book after his research which I think it was his thesis but his research is called The Watcher Matara Kara attended either fulfill a Sunni which means that

Motorama reach like temporary marriage a revisiting based on Sunni thought and it's really interesting because he argues in this book the motor is not actually Haram but only through so many sources and it's really fascinating his kind of whole and he has a debate with share with the Salafi shell hits on YouTube his name is Abram as rock this doctor and he debates in Morocco a he's Moroccan and he debates another can salafi so his Maliki debates a

selfie by a popular diary selfie that he by the name chef is easy and he's debating him and it's so the debate was so dumb some of you know it's like the usual kind of responses which I found very immature like you know okay if you think motaz okay then marry your daughter to me now I'll do matter with her what the hell is that about how could I mean seriously could you imagine two academic kind of like professors like let's say in Oxford or

Cambridge having a debate like this is this how what a dump what a stupid thing to say like oh so you think it's halal to have a temporary okay then give marry your daughter to me as a temporary marriage and then that guy says something like get lost I would never marry my daughter to even if he came asking and and then he this was as he says well I wouldn't want to marry your daughter because she's gonna be ugly like you shuffle and this is on YouTube I thought wow this is like a

debate between thought this is just wow this is amazing man like how dumb people are anyway moving on
