**Summary (not a quotation; machine-made, unchecked):** After years of uncertainty over who leaked Yasir Qadhi's email, Mufti Abu Layth says it has transpired that Farid was behind the leak.

## Longer summary

Mufti Abu Layth recalls the recent moment when Yasir Qadhi tried to explain the leaked emails and, in his words, dug himself a deeper hole, and says it all goes back to the leak. He recalls that he was himself on a group called Knowledge Revival [?], to which Yasir Qadhi was also invited, where a talk was being prepared and the question of the emails was raised. He says that for years nobody was sure who had leaked the email, and then, with music and applause, reveals that behind all of it was the man he nicknames Gangu Teli.
