19 Aug 2022video Why did Ibn Hajar say the satanic verses story has some basis? Mufti Abu Layth says Ibn Hajar wrongly argued that the many weak chains give the story a basis, and attributes the mistake to passion for the hadith project rather than malice.

15 Feb 2021video Why does Bukhari accept a narrator who praised Ali's killer while Shia narrators are rejected? Mufti Abu Layth calls it a double standard that al-Bukhari accepts as trustworthy a narrator who praised Ibn Muljam for killing Ali, while reports from Imam Jafar and other Shia imams are rejected because of their source.

26 Jan 2021Monday Nights with Mufti Abu Layth How did the BukhariGate discussion go on manuscripts and problematic hadith? Mufti Abu Layth says the guest did not contest the manuscript evidence, and that defending the problematic reports amounts to claiming the Prophet could err but al-Bukhari could not.

24 Jul 2019Quick Fiqh! Can reports from Shia sources about Hasan and Husayn be trusted? Mufti Abu Layth accepts the reports as factual, saying the Shia had no reason to invent earrings for their own Imams, and calls it hypocrisy that Sunnis accept Imran ibn Hittan, a Khariji who praised Ali's killer, as a narrator in Sahih al-Bukhari while rejecting anything from Imam Jafar al-Sadiq.

30 Aug 2018BukhariGate: Issues with Sahih al-Bukhari Ibn Hajar and Ibn Rushayd on the transmissions: Farabri alone, found copies not taught Ibn Hajar and Ibn Rushayd both record that Farabri's is the only transmission that reached later generations through teaching. Copies found centuries later cannot be taught from, so claims of independent connected transmissions are not honest.

30 Aug 2018BukhariGate: Issues with Sahih al-Bukhari Farabri's incomplete copy, the differing student copies and the manuscript patchwork Farabri's copy was incomplete and rearranged, his students' copies differ in chains and hadith, and every later manuscript down to the Sultaniyya edition was a patchwork that needed correction.

4 May 2018Clarifying False Hadith Which Insult Islam Should I refuse to shake hands with the opposite sex where it is the custom? Follow the convention you are in: where people do not shake hands, do not; where they do, you may act on the fatwa of the scholars who permit it, since no clear verse or hadith forbids it. Losing citizenship over a handshake was not a battle worth choosing.

29 Sep 2017From the Mind of a Mufti Did great scholars like Ibn Hajar have private lives that would be condemned today? Ibn Hajar al-Asqalani married a woman who had been his wife's slave girl without anyone warning the ummah against him, Mufti Abu Layth says, so such private conduct cannot be called abuse. Words like abuse imply real abuse and are dangerous. Lessonposition checkedIbn Hajar al-AsqalaniFath al-BariSahih al-Bukhari machine2 min 36 s30:07on YouTube

14 Sep 2017From the Mind of a Mufti Can Islamic punishments like stoning and cutting off hands change with time? Yes, in his understanding: the Sharia itself asks for punishments fitting the age, so today they would be replaced by penalties such as prison, following Maliki and other precedents.
