Fiqh differences amongst friends | Mufti Abu Layth

question from here how do you act or should one act think when interacting or maintaining friendship with fellow Muslims with whom you have various differences of opinion from v to hadith to shales and when should you put those differences on the table rah rah alia Abdullahi right so uh I mean I would just say it's the human kind of courtesy you'd you know you'd have a sense a common sense to go about it I'm sure you've navigated fine look really we'll never agree with people right we've got to understand that you know we'll always have some differences will have some

preferences we'll have some and that's what we won't even agree with ourselves so where I stand today a few years from today I may completely disagree with my tastes my choices my opinions in just a matter of a few years so how do you think you know so what do you think of other people then so I think so I I would say look don't worry about these things and sometimes you know it's interesting because I was reading up and thinking about this a little while back

that you see friendships if we if we're calling them friendships yeah the company the preferred or a choice of being in the company of certain people you see we have this understanding that this can only be truly achieved or truly optimized through vocal communication but really I was thinking about it that

if you think about it animals they prefer the company of certain animal I mean they don't have speech I mean you could say this other elements of communication nonverbal communication but it's not kind of constructive communication the way we can community so because we have the ability to communicate we sometimes feel that all things have to be communicated and this is why we have the greatest miscommunication so and animals don't despite the inability to communicate so

sometimes like you could you could have a friend let's say a particular friend or somebody you like being in the company or you could just be in the company of that person and you just like being in the company like maybe you don't have to say much maybe you don't have to really be talking so much I mean you can be but you don't have to be sometimes you can just like being in the company of certain people and I think we've forgotten that many people have forgotten that that they feel that we because we are a species with the

ability to communicate that that we must therefore be communicating and if we're not communicating verbally then something's wrong but it isn't necessarily I mean sometimes you know you could be with a mate and you could just be I don't know you could be describing somewhere let's say and you could be going somewhere you could be just sat there this you're not talking much maybe you're just doing something or just watching but but you enjoy the company so I feel that this is an important lesson it's well way

overlooked I feel and I feel that it causes also not just in friendship but in relationships it causes a huge problem as well so yeah just some food for thought people so it so basically doesn't mean it's a red flag that because sometimes people feel if you're not communicating it's a red flag something must be wrong doesn't have to be in people you know it's all it's just creature communication it's creature where at the end of the day we are all just animals
