**Summary (not a quotation; machine-made, unchecked):** Mufti Abu Layth apologises for being late, explains why Friday evenings suit guests in America, and says he postponed another MindTrap to hold this dialogue.

## Longer summary

Mufti Abu Layth expresses gratitude and says the guest, brother Muhammad, has been waiting patiently while he was delayed. He explains that Friday is a safe bet for guests in America because it is early evening there, which is why the MindTrap sessions work well with friends across the Atlantic, and that he had warned he might be late because of other commitments. He says a few hours had been set aside and they are still within that window, so even half an hour in which the guest steelmans his case for the Quran-only perspective would be welcome, and he apologises again, noting that he postponed another MindTrap with a shaykh from Australia to have this conversation. While waiting for the guest to come on he says he will preface what the discussion is about, switches on the comments and tries to quieten his computer's fan.
