In a speech at Bankstown Town Hall in Sydney, Australia, and in a televised interview, Yasin expressed a view critical of Muslims forming close friendships with non-Muslims, stating: “A Muslim may have non-Muslim acquaintances, but they cannot be considered friends as they lack understanding of our religious principles and faith. Later, he clarified that while Muslims may have non-Muslim friends, it doesn’t imply that non-Muslims should impact Muslims‘ religious or ethical decisions.

Yasin has engaged in university lectures, participated in debate panels, and addressed young audiences. He has made statements highlighting the challenge of reconciling Western academic traditions with Islamic religious life, suggesting that university education could lead to straying from Islamic guidance.

Reports alleged that Yasin advised a light form of discipline, including a light beating, for disobedient wives, a claim he refuted by citing the absence of such directives in the Quran.

Regarding homosexuality, Yasin’s viewpoints have appeared contradictory. In one instance, he referred to it as a moral aberration punishable by death according to   the Quran, while in a documentary, he advocated for tolerance towards diverse sexual orientations while maintaining Islamic principles condemning such behaviors.

Yasin has voiced conspiracy theories, suggesting that HIV/AIDS was potentially created by the US government through tainted vaccinations in Africa. He also accuses Israel of state terrorism and condemns the occupation of Palestinian territories by Israel.

During an investigation by British Channel 4’s documentary “Dispatches:   Undercover Mosque,” Yasin commented on capital punishment in some Muslim states, portraying it as a deterrent in society, although he asserted that these comments were aimed at reforming Muslim societies and were not a direct endorsement of the Saudi Arabian government’s religious ideology.

In a radio program appearance, Yasin highlighted Sharia as integral to governance in Islam, describing it as the legislative and judicial foundation essential for establishing order in a society.
