14 Mar 2021video Is separating hadith from the Sunnah a Hanafi and Maliki principle, and what does Mufti Abu Layth say about Salafi creed? Distinguishing hadith from the Sunnah is the usul of the Hanafi and Maliki schools, not Abduh's invention, and Qadhi applies to Gog and Magog the very reasoning he condemns in others. Mufti Abu Layth adds that Salafi kalam rests on fabricated chains, such as companions debating whether the Quran is created, a debate that arose only around 190 to 210 AH.

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? Mufti Abu Layth says Husayn was invited by thousands in Kufa but warned by his relatives and Ibn Abbas, who urged Yemen instead, while Ibn al-Zubayr resisted Yazid from Makkah.

22 Apr 2020MindTrap with Mufti Abu Layth How should hadith be evaluated, and did the companions ever misreport the Prophet? Hadith should be judged one by one against the principles of the religion, observation and reason, as the earliest Muslims did before reason was sidelined. Aisha herself rejected several companions' reports, such as the dog, woman and donkey breaking the prayer, the dead punished by weeping, and the bad omen in a woman, showing how reports were misrelayed.

19 Apr 2020MindTrap with Mufti Abu Layth Does masturbation or other sexual activity break the fast? The guest says only intercourse is agreed to break the fast, citing Aisha's report and al-Albani; Mufti Abu Layth says he agrees that masturbation per se does not break the fast.

19 Sep 2019Responding to Refutations How old was Aisha when she married the Prophet? Mufti Abu Layth says the report that Aisha was six or nine is false and that she was in her late teens, about seventeen to nineteen. Promoting the child-marriage story and then taking offence at the charge of paedophilia is irresponsible.

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. Question from the audienceposition checkedharamSahih al-Bukharireport: at the end of time people will consider maazif permissible (Sahih al-Bukhari, number not stated)ma'azif (musical instruments; read as 'entertainment') machine5 min 16 s10:31on YouTube
25 Jul 2019Ponderings on the Holy Quran Who transmitted the hadith 'whoever changes his religion, kill him', and does the Quran punish apostasy? Mufti Abu Layth says the Quran is ambivalent about those who leave Islam and that the call to kill apostates is nonsense; the report 'whoever changes his religion, kill him' in Bukhari rests solely on Ikrima, a Khariji whom Imam Malik and Ibn Umar distrusted. He introduces Abdullah Sameer's post as the subject he will answer. Lessonposition checkedAbdullah SameerKhawarijISISIkrima machine5 min 07 s1:18on YouTube
10 May 2019video Which verses forbid or allow marrying non-Muslims? Al-Baqarah 221 and the verse on the emigrant women are cited against intermarriage, while al-Ma'idah 5 allows marrying Christian and Jewish women. Imam Malik disliked it because a husband may not stop his Christian wife bringing pork and wine home.

4 May 2019On Current Events Is it better for women to pray at home than in the mosque? No: sahih hadith show women regularly praying in the Prophet's mosque, the Prophet forbade stopping them, and Umar and Ali provided imams for them. Lessonposition checkedreport: prayer in this mosque of mine is better than a thousand prayers elsewhere except al-masjid al-haramreport: the women would leave the fajr prayer and could not be recognised because of the darkness (cited as in al-Bukhari, number not stated)report: do not prevent the female servants of allah from the mosques of allahreport: if the prophet had seen what the women do now he would have prevented them from the mosque (Aisha) machine8 min 09 s15:11on YouTube
30 Nov 2018Mothers of the Believers: The Wives of the Blessed Prophet ﷺ What evidence suggests Aisha was older than nine when she married? Mufti Abu Layth argues that a six-year-old could not have been the help the Prophet needed, and that the battle reports, her earlier engagement, her age at death and her memory of a Makkan verse point to her being at least seventeen.

22 Apr 2018Clarifying False Hadith Which Insult Islam Can a woman travel without a mahram? Yes: Mufti Abu Layth says a woman can travel without a mahram, since the ruling was about safety. The reports behind it disagree on how long a journey they mean.

22 Apr 2018Clarifying False Hadith Which Insult Islam Can a woman go on Hajj without a mahram? Mufti Abu Layth reports that al-Shafi'i allowed a woman to go with a group of women and Imam Malik with any safe company, while Abu Hanifa required a mahram for journeys over three days.

2 Jan 2018Responding to Refutations Anal intercourse: the difference of opinion and the chains of the critic's hadith On anal intercourse Mufti Abu Layth says only that there is a difference of opinion: the majority held it haram, many Malikis did not and disliked it for hygiene. He argues that every hadith the critic quoted against it has a weak or disconnected chain.

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
