What this part covers
machinesummary, machine-writtenA recent Moroccan Maliki scholar argues in a book that mut'ah is not haram; Mufti Abu Layth calls the 'marry me your daughter' retort in his debate with a Salafi immature.
In more detail
After a light-hearted exchange with viewers, Mufti Abu Layth turns to research he finds interesting: a recent Maliki scholar from Morocco has published a book, apparently his thesis, revisiting temporary marriage on the basis of Sunni thought, in which he argues from many sources that mut'ah is not actually haram. Mufti says this scholar debated a popular Salafi shaykh in Morocco, a debate available on YouTube, and that it was dumb: the Salafi's retort was to offer temporary marriage to the other man's daughter, and the reply was an insult about the Salafi's daughter. He contrasts this with how academics at Oxford or Cambridge would debate and calls the exchange immature.
Position stated
Mufti Abu Layth says the debate's 'then marry your daughter to me' retort was an immature and stupid thing to say.
“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”
