17 May 2021video LatestAre Bin Bayyah and Hamza Yusuf to blame for the UAE's deal with Israel? No, in Mufti Abu Layth's view: the UAE's ruler does not take direction from scholars, Bin Bayyah is said to have disliked the treaty while deferring to the ruler's decision, and Hamza Yusuf had nothing to do with it. He opens with condolences for the losses in Gaza. Lessonthe UAE-Israel normalisation deal (2020)Donald TrumpShaykh Abdullah bin BayyahHamza Yusuf machine3 min 58 s1:22on YouTube
17 May 2021video Why does Mufti Abu Layth compare the Palestinian situation to facing a knife? His escrima teacher's rule was to run from a knife and fight only when running is impossible, and he applies it to an enemy that will not back down. He repeats that the UAE deal has brought nothing and that Bin Bayyah and Hamza Yusuf should not be blamed for it.

24 Aug 2020Monday Nights with Mufti Abu Layth Are Abdullah bin Bayyah and Hamza Yusuf to blame for the UAE-Israel deal? Mufti Abu Layth says it is unfair to blame Abdullah bin Bayyah and Hamza Yusuf for the UAE-Israel deal, since the UAE's ruler does not care what scholars think.

24 Aug 2020Monday Nights with Mufti Abu Layth Is defending the holy land worth Palestinian lives? Mufti Abu Layth says human life comes before any holy place and that Muslims must accept the fight against Israel is lost.

6 Apr 2020video Why does Mufti Abu Layth say both the attackers and the admirers of Shaykh al-Yaqoubi need balance? People cannot be bullied into beliefs, and al-Yaqoubi has rightly not responded to the letter. But his admirers also need balance: claims that he performs miracles or read the Shama'il in four hours go too far and provoke hatred of him.

10 May 2019video I converted to Islam but my husband didn't. Do I have to leave him? No: he agrees with scholars such as Abdullah bin Bayyah that a convert wife may stay with her non-Muslim husband, and vice versa. Telling converts to leave their spouses is home-wrecking.

10 May 2019video Does Quran 60:10 mean a marriage to a non-Muslim is automatically void? No: Umar divorced his non-Muslim wives after the verse came down, which shows their marriages had been valid. The verse on the emigrant women was specific to the Hudaybiyya context.

10 May 2018Ponderings on the Holy Quran Why did some classical scholars rule that apostates be executed? Where classical scholars ruled that apostates be executed, they were dealing with what would now be treason or armed rebellion in a very different world; those rulings do not apply today, and their prevalence then did not make them right.

4 May 2018Clarifying False Hadith Which Insult Islam Which scholars say men and women may shake hands, and what about 'I do not shake hands with women'? The hadith 'I do not shake hands with women' is set against Umm Atiyya's narrations of the women's pledge, which some read as the Prophet shaking hands. Contemporary scholars including the Shaykh of al-Azhar, Bin Bayyah and the European fatwa council have ruled that shaking hands is permitted. Lessonquoted view, not his positionQuran 4:43 (aw lamastum al-nisa; the phrase also in 5:6)report: i do not shake hands with womenreport: umm atiyya said the prophet stretched out his hand and we stretched out our hands at the pledgeUmm Atiyya machine3 min 57 s2:36on YouTube
4 May 2018Clarifying False Hadith Which Insult Islam Should I refuse to shake hands with the opposite sex where it is the custom? Follow the convention you are in: where people do not shake hands, do not; where they do, you may act on the fatwa of the scholars who permit it, since no clear verse or hadith forbids it. Losing citizenship over a handshake was not a battle worth choosing.

14 Sep 2017From the Mind of a Mufti Can Islamic punishments like stoning and cutting off hands change with time? Yes, in his understanding: the Sharia itself asks for punishments fitting the age, so today they would be replaced by penalties such as prison, following Maliki and other precedents.
