10 Mar 2023video LatestWhy was Imam Malik flogged? Malik was flogged for refusing to stop transmitting that a coerced divorce is invalid, which undercut forced oaths of allegiance to the Abbasids.

10 Dec 2022video How did Abu Hanifa die, and what was he known for among people? Abu Hanifa was imprisoned by the Abbasids for supporting an uprising from the Prophet's family and died, perhaps poisoned, in prison; he was loved above all for his compassion and generosity.

16 Mar 2021video LatestWho are the Ibadis and what do you think of Ibadism? The Ibadis are an early, less extreme offshoot of the Khawarij who survive today in Oman and, as a small minority, became known for coexistence. Their independence from Sunnis and Shia helps corroborate early history, such as the place of Makkah.

2 Feb 2021Monday Nights with Mufti Abu Layth Umayyad, Abbasid and Zubayrid politics behind the recording of history Mufti Abu Layth argues that rival Umayyad, Abbasid and Zubayrid narratives gave motives to shape reports such as those through Hisham ibn Urwa.

27 Oct 2020Monday Nights with Mufti Abu Layth Are there other narrations of Aisha's age besides Bukhari's? Mufti Abu Layth says every chain on Aisha's age was engineered, with Hisham as the common link and Iraqi narrators throughout.

24 Aug 2020Monday Nights with Mufti Abu Layth Were the hadith about the black flags against the Abbasids? Mufti Abu Layth doubts the black-flag hadith were anti-Abbasid; if anything, he says, they were part of Abbasid propaganda.

24 Aug 2020Monday Nights with Mufti Abu Layth Did the Prophet really order Jews and Christians expelled from Arabia? Mufti Abu Layth finds the hadith ordering the expulsion of Jews and Christians from Arabia suspect, since the Prophet traded with a Jewish man days before he died, and sees it as a later fabrication. Question from live chatposition checkedreport: akhriju al-yahud wa al-nasara min jazirat al-arabreport: the prophet died with his shield pledged to a jewish man for bags of wheat (unresolved; cited as in Sahih Muslim, number not stated)Sahih MuslimUmar ibn al-Khattab machine10 min 45 s2:07:28on YouTube
28 Feb 2020From the Mind of a Mufti Why didn't Ali take back Fadak when he became caliph?

19 Dec 2019From the Mind of a Mufti Why are Indo-Pak Muslims adopting Gulf Arab culture? Mufti Abu Layth dislikes the push to Arabise Indo-Pak Islam, from Gulf dress to saying Allah Hafiz, feeling it is political and that culture should be natural, not imposed.

18 Sep 2019From the Mind of a Mufti If obscene lyrics make music haram, what about the classical Arabic poetry taught in madrasas? Classical Arabic poetry taught in every major madrasa, from Abu Nuwas to the Hamasa and Imru' al-Qais, is as full of violence, alcohol and sex as rap lyrics, so condemning rap on religious grounds is a double standard. Parents may set their own rules for their children without attributing them to God. Lessonposition checkedAbu Nuwasal-Hamasa of Abu TammamAbu TammamImru' al-Qais machine11 min 32 s36:43on YouTube
9 Sep 2017From the Mind of a Mufti Did the Prophet migrate to Madinah to set up a state, and when did the khilafah end? The guest says the Prophet left Makkah because he was forced out, not to found a state, and the khilafah rashidah ended with Ali, after which Umayyads and Abbasids were kings in all but name. The Quranic promise of khilafah was for the first generation only, and the 1924 abolition ended a powerless kingship, not a khilafah.
