**Topics:** The marriage contract; Intoxicants and substances; Public law and governance

**Summary (not a quotation; machine-made, unchecked):** Steroids are a matter of legality rather than theology, prenuptial agreements are not legally binding in the UK, and Mufti Abu Layth says he is against state control and favours a hands-off approach to governing.

## Longer summary

Mufti Abu Layth finishes a brief answer on anabolic steroids, saying they are a matter of legality rather than theology; the transcript is unclear on whether he adds that they are haram. Responding to chat comments, he says the problems he described are insecurities certain people have, that the state and government profit from divorces, and that he is against that kind of state control, totalitarianism and Orwellian states. In a rapid round he says prenuptial agreements do not work in the UK because they are not legally binding, agrees that women should be independent, and says he has always been against totalitarianism and favours a laissez-faire, hands-off approach to ruling people.
