24 May 2019Hadith Studies If I drank alcohol, are my prayers and fasts rejected for 40 days? No: the fast and prayer are valid. He calls the forty-days hadith an isolated, weak report that clashes with the Quran and reason, though alcohol stays haram.

20 Sep 2018Clarifying False Hadith Which Insult Islam What is the war-wager hadith paradox? Mufti Abu Layth presents the report that the Prophet was commanded to fight people until they believe, which hadith dogmatists call mutawatir, and notes that the same scholars agree no one may be fought merely for disbelief or compelled into Islam. Lessonposition checkedreport: i have been commanded to fight the people until they testify that there is no god but allah (unresolved; Abu Hurayra, wording of Sahih Muslim, number not stated)Sahih MuslimSahih al-BukhariSunan Abi Dawud machine7 min 54 s0:00on YouTube
10 May 2018Ponderings on the Holy Quran What is the context of the hadith 'whoever changes his religion, kill him'? The report 'whoever changes his religion, kill him' clashes with the Quran, and in full it is Ikrima's account of Ali burning people alive and Ibn Abbas objecting that he should have executed them instead. Lessonposition checkedreport: whoever changes his religion kill him (man baddala dinahu faqtuluhu; unresolved, Sahih al-Bukhari and others, number not stated)Sahih al-BukhariSunan al-Nasa'iSunan Ibn Majah machine2 min 36 s26:06on YouTube
10 May 2018Ponderings on the Holy Quran Is the chain of the apostasy hadith through Anas reliable? The alternative chain of the apostasy hadith through Anas is also weak: it includes a narrator with Mu'tazili tendencies and Qatada, who is known for tadlis, and the report clashes with reason, the Quran and the Prophet's life. Lessonposition checkedreport: whoever changes his religion kill him (man baddala dinahu faqtuluhu; unresolved, Sahih al-Bukhari and others, number not stated)Anas ibn MalikQatadaAbd al-Samad [?] machine3 min 58 s35:16on YouTube
4 May 2018Clarifying False Hadith Which Insult Islam Is there a hadith that says a woman who wears perfume outside is a zaniya? The report, transmitted only from Abu Musa al-Ash'ari and found in al-Nasa'i, Abu Dawud, Ahmad and al-Tirmidhi, says a woman who passes people while wearing perfume is a fornicator. Lessonquoted view, not his positionreport: ayyuma imraatin istatarat fa marrat ala qawmin li yajidu rihaha fa hiya zaniya (with the variant every eye is a fornicator)Abu Musa al-Ash'ariZaynab al-ThaqafiyyaIbn Mas'ud machine2 min 39 s0:00on YouTube
4 May 2018Clarifying False Hadith Which Insult Islam Doesn't the hadith of Zaynab forbid women from wearing perfume to the mosque? The report only tells women not to wear perfume to the late Isha, sometimes Zaynab alone, so Mufti Abu Layth reads it as a specific instruction, not a general ban. Lessonposition checkedreport: idha shahidat ihdakunna al-isha al-akhira fa la tamassa tiban (Zaynab al-Thaqafiyya; Sahih Muslim and al-Nasa'i, number not stated)Zaynab al-ThaqafiyyaIbn Mas'udBusr ibn Sa'id [?] machine3 min 53 s19:47on YouTube
5 May 2015video Is a short back and sides or faded haircut haram? A short back and sides, or hair of unequal lengths, is permissible and does not fall under the hadith forbidding qaza'. Shaving patches and leaving others (qaza') is at most disliked, not haram, in the view he presents, unless done to disfigure or to imitate a religious practice. Question raised by Mufti Abu Laythposition checkedqaza'report: the prophet forbade qaza (unresolved; Ibn Umar, Sahih Muslim and Sahih al-Bukhari, number not stated)report: shave all of it or leave all of it (unresolved; the child with a patch of hair, al-Nasa'i and Abu Dawud)report: i will not cut it for i saw the prophet hold you by it (unresolved; the braid of Anas ibn Malik, Abu Dawud) machine15 min 52 s1:20on YouTube
