What this part covers

machinesummary, machine-written

Removing the hijab is her own choice and her own business, Mufti Abu Layth says; he adds that some scholars hold hijab is not obligatory and that he finds their argument stronger.

In more detail

In what he calls the masala segment, Mufti Abu Layth introduces Amena Khan, known as Pearl Daisy, a hijabi YouTuber who has removed her hijab, and plays a clip in which she says people have the right to choose what they do with their bodies, that she is a massive believer in female autonomy, that others' decisions should not affect what you do, and that she has said from day one that she is not a religious figure. Mufti says that removing the hijab is her own business and her choice, and that there is in any case a difference of opinion on whether hijab is obligatory at all: several scholars hold that it is not, he sees more strength in their argument than in the other, and he points to his detailed YouTube video on the verses of Surah al-Nur. He says that what he supports is not her as such but her right to decide.
