Reddit reply in r/extomatoes: totally out of the loop why are these popular — February 5, 2026 · o3s7imv | Ali Shukri Amin

>We are discussing the Deen of Allah, not personal matters, no matter how bluntly I express my criticisms. I show respect to anyone who approaches the Deen of Allah and scholarly issues in this manner, regardless of who they are or whether they are misguided. This is the way of people of knowledge, and it is nothing unique.

Your da'wah will be more effective if you approach it with more tact, even ahl al-'ilm are humans and prefer to have discussions in a friendly fashion.

All of the issues about being specific & exact with phraseology is well & dandy in Arabic but we're on Reddit talking in English. We're not introducing new mustalahat into Aqidah discussions from English, we're translating them out of Arabic. It's a stylistic choice not a methodological one.

>This is the same issue as when you once, likely unknowingly, gave an invalid and unqualified fatwa on cryptocurrencies that was from Daniel Haqiqatjou's site and channel. You framed it as though you had consulted scholars, yet the references you used were not from scholars at all. It clearly showed that you do not understand what qualifies someone as a scholar. When I replied under your article, my comments were mysteriously removed.

Whatever your definition of an 'alim is, that article was thoroughly reviewed by a senior Hanafi teacher who is well past the level of iftā in his madh'hab for years. That was sufficient for me. If it's not sufficient for you, then you are totally fine not to take that information.

I did extensively quote 'ulama throughout that article for a variety of the arguments advanced. There is not much scholarship from senior ulama on cutting edge technology, hence the need for such an article in the first place.

The article itself delineated the various levels of fuqaha & scholarship in the realm of fiqh.

I was not in charge of comment moderation.

>May Allah protect you.

Ameen wa iyyakum brother...? I think there was a brother Ghufrān that was associated with your project. I may be mistaken.

Anyways it's better to discuss these issues in private so send me a DM while I go through your material inshaAllah.
