17 May 2021video Is Jerusalem really a holy city in Islam? In Mufti Abu Layth's view Jerusalem was never that sacred in Islam: its glorification began with Abd al-Malik's Dome of the Rock as a rival to Makkah, and he holds that al-Aqsa, 'the farthest' mosque, was in the heavens. Even if holy, it is bricks and mortar, and life comes before buildings. Lessonposition checkedAbd al-Malik ibn MarwanAbdullah ibn al-Zubayr [?]al-Masjid al-Aqsa machine2 min 37 s13:14on YouTube
15 May 2021video LatestIs there archaeological evidence for David's kingdom, and how did Jerusalem become holy for Muslims? Archaeology has not found the kingdoms of David and Solomon, and Mufti Abu Layth says Muslims should apply the same scrutiny to their own narrations, where early scholars differed over al-Aqsa and the first qibla and the Umayyads under Abd al-Malik promoted Jerusalem with fabricated hadith to rival Ibn al-Zubayr.

28 Feb 2020From the Mind of a Mufti Why didn't Ali take back Fadak when he became caliph?
