18 Sep 2019From the Mind of a Mufti Which scholars held that music is permissible, and what did Imam Malik's school say? Al-Shawkani, Ibn Hazm, Abu Bakr ibn al-Arabi and al-Fakihani all found no sahih hadith prohibiting music, and the people of Madinah, including the qadi Sa'd ibn Ibrahim, held it permissible, with some transmitting this as Imam Malik's own position. Only Allah and His Messenger are authorities, so a refutation needs a sahih hadith.

18 Sep 2019From the Mind of a Mufti Is listening to music haram? In Mufti Abu Layth's understanding music is not forbidden, because no text is at once conclusive, sahih and explicit: the Bukhari hadith speaks of entertainment, not music, and the texts naming music are not authentic. People find this hard to accept because they come to religion expecting it to oppose entertainment and desire. Question from the audienceposition checkedharamSahih al-Bukharireport: at the end of time people will consider maazif permissible (Sahih al-Bukhari, number not stated)ma'azif (musical instruments; read as 'entertainment') machine5 min 16 s10:31on YouTube
10 Jul 2018Quick Fiqh! Is it haram for men to wear gold or silk? In Mufti Abu Layth's view the prohibition of gold and silk for men is a matter of dislike (karaha), not a categorical haram, since many Companions wore both all their lives and the Prophet's aim was to keep people focused in hard times. He notes the popular opinion is that it is haram and says nobody has to follow his understanding.

10 May 2018Ponderings on the Holy Quran Were apostates punished for disbelief or for fighting against Muslims? The classical punishment targeted apostates who took up arms against the community, not disbelief itself: Umar preferred to restrain and persuade, al-Tahawi tied it to waging war, and the Hanafis exempted women because they were not combatants.

2 Jan 2018Responding to Refutations Music: the hadith on singing and hypocrisy, and scholars who permitted music Nothing proven categorically makes music haram, and lyrics by themselves do not make listening haram. The hadith the critic cited on singing and hypocrisy is weak in every chain, and he lists scholars who said no sahih report forbids music.

2 Jan 2018Responding to Refutations Anal intercourse: the difference of opinion and the chains of the critic's hadith On anal intercourse Mufti Abu Layth says only that there is a difference of opinion: the majority held it haram, many Malikis did not and disliked it for hygiene. He argues that every hadith the critic quoted against it has a weak or disconnected chain.
