## Transcript (machine tier, 47:45–51:41)

[47:21] So I'm in my general practice upon the principles of the school of Medina and Imam Malik who didn't really recognize innovations in Islam. So, I don't personally practice that, but if people do, I don't condemn them. I don't say, "Oh my god, what the hell are you doing? You're going to hell." It's their choice, each to their own. To some people, that helps them.

[47:45] Uh Muhammad Bari says, "I'm driving my truck." You're doing it, Muhammad Bar. You're doing it. [snorts] Uh yeah, I can't get to the gym because of all these processions.

[49:38] Well, you know, I don't think that's too difficult to be honest. Um, [laughter] to defeat the Salafies, I think like a Post-it note will do really.
