2 Sep 2020video What is the background to the feud between Daniel Haqiqatjou and Jonathan Brown? The feud goes back to Haqiqatjou's dismissal from Yaqeen Institute and his replacement by Jonathan Brown; Mufti Abu Layth says Haqiqatjou has since accused Yaqeen of selling out, and he calls his views extreme.

19 Sep 2019Responding to Refutations Islamic institutes, preachers' depth of learning, and passionate converts Mufti Abu Layth says the preacher was, he believes, referring to the Yaqeen Institute, and that if this is what they promote they need to revisit themselves. He says he respects and applauds Omar Suleiman's social justice work and protests for discriminated communities, but says such preachers have not really studied Islam in depth or qualified through a formal institute, are put on a pedestal by the institution and must then cement it, and were mostly very Wahhabi-inclined at one point. He says Asadullah al-Andalusi [?] once held ridiculous views about killing ex-Muslims and apostates, which he thinks he has since turned away from. He applauds converts for a step he thinks few born Muslims would take, mentioning Hamza Yusuf as one who studied deeply and to whom many are indebted, while noting that some converts with turbulent backgrounds embrace Islam as a cause.

30 Nov 2018Mothers of the Believers: The Wives of the Blessed Prophet ﷺ Was Aisha really nine, as Yaqeen Institute concluded? Mufti Abu Layth rejects the conclusion that Aisha was six at marriage and nine at its consummation, saying such a marriage would be morally abhorrent and did not happen. He disputes the claim that the question is not a moral one and says the chains of the report are unreliable.

30 Nov 2018Mothers of the Believers: The Wives of the Blessed Prophet ﷺ Why do some scholars still insist Aisha was nine? Lacking an earlier authority is no reason to keep the young age, since medieval scholars also accepted slavery and other rulings no one would defend today. No hadith gives certain knowledge, so an inconclusive report that blemishes the Prophet's honour is rejected. Lessonposition checkedAishaal-AlbaniIbn Taymiyyaijma' machine4 min 36 s15:43on YouTube
