What this part covers
machinesummary, machine-writtenAl-Yaqoubi criticised Mufti Abu Layth in a public gathering for mocking al-Nawawi, for his remarks on homosexuality and for calling himself a mufti; Mufti says he was surprised and partly flattered, and teases the title 'His Eminence'.
In more detail
Mufti Abu Layth says someone sent him a video in which Shaykh al-Yaqoubi discussed his comments in a heated response, asking how he dared mock Imam al-Nawawi, say what he said about homosexuality and call himself a mufti. He says he was amazed that al-Yaqoubi would speak about him in a public gathering and, joking in Urdu, partially flattered. He notes that the remark about a self-styled mufti from the UK could only refer to him, promises to come to the homosexuality and al-Nawawi points later, and says he has nothing against al-Yaqoubi, before teasing the title 'His Eminence' as a claim to royalty that al-Yaqoubi does not call himself but does not stop others using.
