**Summary (not a quotation; machine-made, unchecked):** Mufti Abu Layth introduces the social media controversy around a famous Muslim Instagram couple accused of living double lives.

## Longer summary

Mufti Abu Layth introduces, in his 'masala' segment, the controversy around a married couple very popular on Instagram for cheesy 'couple goals' content, joking about his own smaller following. He relays what was being reported on social media: that in private the couple mocked Islam and did not believe, that they ran ruqya and exorcism sessions as a business, and that the wife led a parallel life as a model away from her niqab-wearing public persona. He says they have now been exposed and that he wants to give his own angle on the matter.
