What this part covers

machinesummary, machine-written

Mufti Abu Layth says polygamy is a personal choice Islam allows, so people should not hate on others for it, though nobody has to practise it.

In more detail

Mufti Abu Layth says leaked messages about the couple's relationships are circulating, and that many people, especially young Muslim women on social media, were attacking them for the husband having two wives. He says he defended them on this point: polygamy is their personal choice, Islam allows it, and no one has to practise it. He contrasts young Muslims who defend gay and lesbian relationships as consensual with their assumption that anything associated with Islam, like polygamy, must be forced and oppressive, and says if people are happy it is their life. He jokes at length about 'triangular love', recites Urdu poetry on the dangers of love, and returns to the topic.
