16 Feb 2021Monday Nights with Mufti Abu Layth Did the Prophet tell people to drink camel urine as medicine? Mufti Abu Layth says camel urine is not medicine and the Prophet never really told anyone to drink it; the report is weak in its chain and, if taken at all, reads as a rebuke. Question from live chatguest speechMohammed Hijabreport: the prophet told the sick to drink camel urinereport: the people of uraynah had their hands and feet cut off and their eyes brandedAnas ibn Malik machine6 min 30 s1:26:20on YouTube
10 Jul 2018Quick Fiqh! Is it haram for men to wear gold or silk? In Mufti Abu Layth's view the prohibition of gold and silk for men is a matter of dislike (karaha), not a categorical haram, since many Companions wore both all their lives and the Prophet's aim was to keep people focused in hard times. He notes the popular opinion is that it is haram and says nobody has to follow his understanding. Question written questionposition checkedreport: allah has made these two gold and silk haram upon the males of my ummah (unresolved)report: whoever wears silk in this world is deprived of it in jannah (unresolved)report: the prophet permitted al-zubayr and abd al-rahman ibn awf to wear silk because of an itch (unresolved)al-Zubayr ibn al-Awwam [?] machine15 min 13 s0:00on YouTube
10 May 2018Ponderings on the Holy Quran Which hadith are used to justify killing apostates, and were the scholars who used them right? Some scholars did rule that apostates be killed, and he says they were clearly wrong, products of a ruthless age; the time given to apostates in the reports makes sense only as time to withdraw from rebellion.

10 May 2018Ponderings on the Holy Quran Is the chain of the apostasy hadith through Anas reliable? The alternative chain of the apostasy hadith through Anas is also weak: it includes a narrator with Mu'tazili tendencies and Qatada, who is known for tadlis, and the report clashes with reason, the Quran and the Prophet's life.

4 May 2018Clarifying False Hadith Which Insult Islam What evidence do scholars use to allow men and women to shake hands? Scholars who permit it cite 'do not frighten people away', the verse on returning greetings, Abu Musa having a woman comb his hair on Hajj, and the Sahih report that Umm Haram combed the Prophet's hair and let him nap at her house. The Umm Haram report is one scholars struggled with. Lessonquoted view, not his positionreport: give glad tidings and do not frighten people awayQuran 4:86 (when you are greeted, return a better greeting or return it)Yusuf al-Qaradawi [?] (name garbled in the transcript)report: abu musa al-ashari had a woman of his tribe comb through his hair while on hajj machine2 min 37 s6:33on YouTube
4 May 2018Clarifying False Hadith Which Insult Islam Would the Prophet really call a woman wearing perfume a fornicator? No: Mufti Abu Layth says calling a woman a fornicator is the crime of qadhf under Quran 24:4, punished by the Malikis whatever the intention, and the Prophet was never obscene, so the report insults him. Lessonposition checkedQuran 24:4 (those who accuse chaste women without four witnesses)Quran 68:4 (you are of a great character) [?]report: ayyuma imraatin istatarat fa marrat ala qawmin li yajidu rihaha fa hiya zaniyareport: lam yakun al-nabi fahishan wa la sabbaban wa la laanan (Anas, in al-Bukhari, number not stated) machine9 min 15 s10:32on YouTube
21 Feb 2018Responding to Refutations Is the chain Hammad ibn Salama from Thabit from Anas for the crying-tree hadith sound? Mufti Abu Layth argues it is not: critics report that Hammad ibn Salama's memory failed late in life, that Bukhari did not transmit from him, and that Thabit was not the most reliable transmitter from Anas, Qatada and Humayd al-Tawil being ranked above him.

21 Feb 2018On the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ Why do the hadith about Safiyya's marriage contradict each other? Nearly all the reports come through one companion, Anas ibn Malik, who was a teenager at Khaybar and died decades later, and they contradict each other on almost every detail, so none can be taken as it stands. Only two facts are certain: Safiyya left with the Muslims and later became the Prophet's wife.

21 Feb 2018On the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ Could the Prophet have married Safiyya right after Khaybar? No: she was a widow and the Quran requires a waiting period of four months and ten days, so a marriage at Khaybar would contradict the Quran. The companions only assumed a marriage because they saw the Prophet veil her and took a victory meal for a wedding feast.

21 Feb 2018On the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ Where did Safiyya live when she first came to Madinah? She did not live with the Prophet but was lodged with Umm Sulaym and others, and the Prophet rebuked Aisha and others who called her 'that Jew'. The feast on the road was a victory meal, not a wedding, and she embraced Islam in the months that followed.

21 Feb 2018On the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ When and how did Safiyya actually marry the Prophet? She embraced Islam in the months after Khaybar, became interested in the Prophet herself and married him with her consent, not on the night of the battle. Abu Hurayra reported that nothing was taken from Khaybar but clothing, cattle and sheep. Lessonposition checkedSafiyyaAnas ibn Malikconsent as the basis of a valid marriageAbu Hurayra machine2 min 38 s32:35on YouTube
21 Feb 2018On the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ If the Safiyya story is in Sahih al-Bukhari, why question it? Because Bukhari's own narrations of the incident conflict, all rest on Anas, and Anas himself says nobody witnessed a marriage and they only assumed one from her being veiled. Earlier scholars were great but shaped by their times, and loyalty to them should not come before the Prophet's honour.

9 Feb 2018On the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ Is the hadith of the crying tree trunk authentic? No: Mufti Abu Layth finds weak narrators in each chain, including those in al-Bukhari, and says only the Quran is preserved in its entirety.

5 May 2015video Is a short back and sides or faded haircut haram? A short back and sides, or hair of unequal lengths, is permissible and does not fall under the hadith forbidding qaza'. Shaving patches and leaving others (qaza') is at most disliked, not haram, in the view he presents, unless done to disfigure or to imitate a religious practice. Question raised by Mufti Abu Laythposition checkedqaza'report: the prophet forbade qaza (unresolved; Ibn Umar, Sahih Muslim and Sahih al-Bukhari, number not stated)report: shave all of it or leave all of it (unresolved; the child with a patch of hair, al-Nasa'i and Abu Dawud)report: i will not cut it for i saw the prophet hold you by it (unresolved; the braid of Anas ibn Malik, Abu Dawud) machine15 min 52 s1:20on YouTube
