**Topics:** Replies to attacks on the Prophet; Reports that disrespect the Prophet; The wives of the Prophet

**Summary (not a quotation; machine-made, unchecked):** Yes: Mufti Abu Layth says reports that the Prophet married a nine-year-old, was bewitched or became impotent are the real blasphemy, and urges scholars to denounce them.

**Checked position (checked by two independent reviews, not by the channel):** Mufti Abu Layth says that reports such as the Prophet having relations with a nine-year-old or becoming impotent are rubbish that should be denounced as blasphemy.

**Evidence, his words at 21:49:** “absolute utter rubbish these things are rubbish garbage being rigged educated in the name of Islam fuel for Islamophobia I urge you I beg you to please denounce this rubbish as blasphemy” (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RM4jHsWJ_uM&t=1309s)

## Longer summary

Mufti Abu Layth asks those who call themselves lovers of the Prophet how they would feel if someone said the Prophet became forgetful and fantasised, had relations with a nine-year-old, was bewitched by a Jew for half a year, became impotent, that Musa ran naked so people could see his private parts, or that the Prophet sent Ali to kill a man accused over Mariya who turned out to have no penis. Mufti calls these reports absolute blasphemy and fuel for Islamophobia, and asks why he is the only one denouncing them while Sunni scholars endorse them. He says Mariya was the Prophet's wife, not a slave, citing a student of Imam Malik who listed her as a wife, and says that, though he loves and respects Ibn Hajar [?], his loyalty to the Prophet is above the social norms of Ibn Hajar's century. He urges scholars to denounce these reports, says Allah will hold them to account for letting the Prophet's name be defiled, and tells them that otherwise they should not call others blasphemers for saying someone exaggerated out of love.
