19 Aug 2022video LatestWhat did the classical Maliki scholars say about the satanic verses story? Mufti Abu Layth says the Maliki scholars, Abu Bakr ibn al-Arabi and Qadi Iyad among them, rejected the story as fabricated, and that al-Tabari records the narrations but concludes they are false.

19 Aug 2022video Why did Ibn Hajar say the satanic verses story has some basis? Mufti Abu Layth says Ibn Hajar wrongly argued that the many weak chains give the story a basis, and attributes the mistake to passion for the hadith project rather than malice.

19 Aug 2022video What does the Quran say against the satanic verses story? Mufti Abu Layth says al-Suyuti repeated Ibn Hajar's mistake, while the Quran rules the story out: the Prophet does not speak from desire and Satan has no power to speak in his voice.

19 Aug 2022video LatestWhich scholars accepted the satanic verses story and which rejected it?

9 Feb 2021Monday Nights with Mufti Abu Layth Was al-Ghazali against science and philosophy? Mufti Abu Layth says al-Ghazali was not against reason at first, but after a crisis of faith he turned to ascetic mysticism, and through later Sufism this indirectly harmed the voice of reason.

17 Oct 2020video What is the hadith of the night of the jinn, and was it a psychoactive experience? The Tirmidhi report of Ibn Mas'ud's night of the jinn, in which he carried nabidh and saw strange figures, would most likely describe a psychoactive experience if true, and the report praising harmala shows such a narrative existed in early Muslim society.

3 Jul 2020MindTrap with Mufti Abu Layth Were the companions allowed to change words of the Quran, and was that only a temporary concession? The guest argues the Prophet allowed multiple oral forms of the Quran; Mufti Abu Layth says this dynamism was the Quran's inherent nature, not a temporary concession.

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.

2 Aug 2019From the Mind of a Mufti What did Ibn al-Arabi write about a classmate who was both bearded and breasted? Qadi Abu Bakr ibn al-Arabi recorded a classmate with a beard and breasts who came to al-Ghazali's lessons with two servant girls and whose nature puzzled him for years. Mufti Abu Layth reads this as an example of people in the past finding outlets with servants and slaves.

2 Jan 2018Responding to Refutations Music: the hadith on singing and hypocrisy, and scholars who permitted music Nothing proven categorically makes music haram, and lyrics by themselves do not make listening haram.

17 May 2017Ramadan Q&A Fast & Fiqhious LatestShould I pray 8 or 20 rak'ahs of tarawih? Tarawih has no fixed number: eight, the least the Prophet prayed, is the base and anything above it is valid. Twenty was the common practice and the schools' broad view, but neither eight nor twenty is wrong.
