What this part covers

machinesummary, machine-written

Mufti Abu Layth ridicules a critic's story that intimacy was once seen as so foul that couples used slit bedsheets.

In more detail

Mufti Abu Layth plays, several times and with laughter, a clip in which the maulana recalls being shown by a grandmother bedsheets with a slit, used because intimacy was considered so spiritually foul that it was allowed only for the minimum needed to procreate, followed by immediate repentance. Mufti mocks the idea with jokes about ghosts and Halloween, and then digresses to joke that elephants are self-conscious, showing a book on animal minds.
