16 Feb 2021Monday Nights with Mufti Abu Layth Did Imam Ahmad really refuse to say the Quran is created? Mufti Abu Layth says later Hanbalis made Imam Ahmad a hero of the Mihna, though he likely said the Quran was created to save himself; Ash'ari books also call the worded Quran created.

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

20 Dec 2018From the Mind of a Mufti Were there Muslim scholars and caliphs in history known to be homosexual? Mufti Abu Layth reports, without endorsing their views, that several celebrated Abbasid-era figures were known for homosexuality, including a chief judge of Basra who argued for it from the Quran, the caliphs al-Amin and al-Ma'mun, and Muhammad ibn Dawud al-Zahiri. He cites al-Dhahabi and the poetry of the period as his sources. Lessonquoted view, not his positionYahya ibn Aktham [?]Imam Ahmad ibn Hanbalal-Ma'munal-Amin machine10 min 31 s7:56on YouTube

2 Jan 2018Responding to Refutations Is the Quran created or uncreated? Why he calls the debate absurd Mufti Abu Layth holds that the created or uncreated Quran debate is absurd: the Companions never discussed it, and it arose as a political dispute over the caliphs' authority in the time of al-Ma'mun.
