12 Jan 2021Monday Nights with Mufti Abu Layth Should I study at Dar al-Mustafa in Yemen or at al-Azhar? Mufti Abu Layth would not go to Yemen now because it is unstable; al-Azhar is still an option, and short stints abroad after local study may be best.

25 May 2019video Does smoking break my fast? Some scholars hold that smoking does not break the fast and those who follow them are not to blame, but Mufti Abu Layth's own advice is to use nicotine patches instead.

10 May 2019video I converted to Islam but my husband didn't. Do I have to leave him? No: he agrees with scholars such as Abdullah bin Bayyah that a convert wife may stay with her non-Muslim husband, and vice versa. Telling converts to leave their spouses is home-wrecking.

4 May 2018Clarifying False Hadith Which Insult Islam Which scholars say men and women may shake hands, and what about 'I do not shake hands with women'? The hadith 'I do not shake hands with women' is set against Umm Atiyya's narrations of the women's pledge, which some read as the Prophet shaking hands. Contemporary scholars including the Shaykh of al-Azhar, Bin Bayyah and the European fatwa council have ruled that shaking hands is permitted. Lessonquoted view, not his positionQuran 4:43 (aw lamastum al-nisa; the phrase also in 5:6)report: i do not shake hands with womenreport: umm atiyya said the prophet stretched out his hand and we stretched out our hands at the pledgeUmm Atiyya machine3 min 57 s2:36on YouTube
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.
