· Are disgusting sexual fetishes between spouses haram?
Mufti Abu Layth says that fetishes involving impurity, however disgusting, are not haram, since contact with impurity is unclean but not forbidden and only God declares something haram, and that what consenting spouses do in private is their own business.
“So my response which is still the same that these kinks or things like this as sickening as they may be to people doesn't make them haram.”

· Are many people's frustrations really about unmet sexual needs?
Mufti Abu Layth says unmet sexual needs underlie much unhappiness and bitterness, that Islam does not view sex negatively though institutionalised religion does, and that Freud's insights should be judged on their merits rather than on his character.
“i'm not saying islam sees it like this islam does not see sex negatively but institutionalized islam does”
