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.

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 Which civil war did early Muslims mean by 'the fitnah'? Mufti Abu Layth says it is often unclear which civil war early scholars meant by 'the fitnah', as several upheavals were each called the great one.

16 Oct 2020video Why did Muawiya make Yazid his heir? Muawiya named Yazid heir while senior companions lived, and Mufti Abu Layth feels his recognition of Ziyad as Abu Sufyan's son was a political move.

16 Oct 2020video What kind of ruler was Yazid? Mufti Abu Layth calls Muawiya's choice of Yazid a grave mistake: Yazid was a Muslim but a disappointment who attacked Madinah and installed the tyrant Ubaydullah ibn Ziyad in Kufa.

16 Oct 2020video Why did Husayn go to Kufa when he was warned not to?

16 Oct 2020video Who was really responsible for the killing of Husayn at Karbala?

18 Sep 2019From the Mind of a Mufti Which scholars held that music is permissible, and what did Imam Malik's school say? Al-Shawkani, Ibn Hazm, Abu Bakr ibn al-Arabi and al-Fakihani all found no sahih hadith prohibiting music, and the people of Madinah, including the qadi Sa'd ibn Ibrahim, held it permissible, with some transmitting this as Imam Malik's own position. Only Allah and His Messenger are authorities, so a refutation needs a sahih hadith.

18 Sep 2019From the Mind of a Mufti Is listening to music haram? In Mufti Abu Layth's understanding music is not forbidden, because no text is at once conclusive, sahih and explicit: the Bukhari hadith speaks of entertainment, not music, and the texts naming music are not authentic. People find this hard to accept because they come to religion expecting it to oppose entertainment and desire.
