22 Apr 2020MindTrap with Mufti Abu Layth What does the Quran mean by 'what your right hands possess', and did the Prophet have a concubine? The guest reads the Quran's 'right-hand possessions' as a category of wife who was not free, since 4:25 speaks of marrying slave girls, and thinks Mariya al-Qibtiyya may have been a wife misunderstood as a concubine. Mufti Abu Layth says Mariya was a wife, as he has taught, and that under trajectory hermeneutics slavery would have become haram.

21 Feb 2018On the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ Could the Prophet have married Safiyya right after Khaybar? No: she was a widow and the Quran requires a waiting period of four months and ten days, so a marriage at Khaybar would contradict the Quran. The companions only assumed a marriage because they saw the Prophet veil her and took a victory meal for a wedding feast.

21 Feb 2018On the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ If the Safiyya story is in Sahih al-Bukhari, why question it? Because Bukhari's own narrations of the incident conflict, all rest on Anas, and Anas himself says nobody witnessed a marriage and they only assumed one from her being veiled. Earlier scholars were great but shaped by their times, and loyalty to them should not come before the Prophet's honour.
