25 Oct 2021video Did Muslims learn how to pray from hadith books? No: the practice of Islam reached us through the living tradition, taught from parent to child, not through hadith collections compiled two centuries later. Quranists are not one group, and many only doubt the accuracy of hadith. Lessonposition checkedQuranist (Quran-only)SunniSufiSalafi machine2 min 37 s4:30on YouTube
2 Mar 2021Monday Nights with Mufti Abu Layth Is the hadith in Bukhari about Jesus coming down reliable? The first Bukhari chain is doubtful: al-Bukhari left two narrators unnamed, which he is known to have done deliberately, and the chain runs through al-Zuhri, who was known to insert his own words into hadith.

2 Mar 2021Monday Nights with Mufti Abu Layth Are the Sahih Muslim reports about Jesus's return reliable? Further Sahih Muslim chains contain a narrator with memory loss, an unidentifiable narrator who could not have met Abu Hurayra, Ibn Jurayj, whom he calls a major mudallis, and Abu al-Zubayr.

15 Nov 2020video Are the hadith about the evil eye authentic? No: he says the evil eye hadith rest on weak or criticised narrators and odd reports, and a belief so important would have come from many companions and the Quran. He calls them baseless.

18 Sep 2019From the Mind of a Mufti Is the hadith that singing breeds hypocrisy in the heart authentic? The hadith that singing breeds hypocrisy in the heart is weak in every one of its chains, which run from Ibn Mas'ud to the Prophet in some versions and stop at Ibn Mas'ud in others. Mufti Abu Layth restates that nothing categorically proves music haram and that lyrics do not make it so.

4 May 2019On Current Events Is the hadith about women praying in the darkest part of the house authentic? No: the chains run through unknown, abandoned or weak narrators, so the reports are fabricated or very weak and clash with the sahih hadith. Lessonposition checkedreport: i know that you love to pray with me but your prayer in your room is better for you than your prayer in my mosque (Umm Humayd)report: the best prayer of a woman is in the darkest part of her house (Abu Hurayra, Ibn Khuzayma)Musnad AhmadAbu Dawud machine8 min 22 s23:22on YouTube
30 Aug 2018BukhariGate: Issues with Sahih al-Bukhari Imam Bukhari's own practice: transmission by meaning, hidden names, a Khariji narrator Imam Bukhari set a gold standard but did not always apply it: he transmitted by meaning, hid the names of problematic teachers and narrated from a Khariji who praised Ali's killer. Mufti Abu Layth's quarrel is not with Bukhari himself but with how the book is treated.

29 Jul 2018Clarifying False Hadith Which Insult Islam Are the chains of the 'women lack intellect' hadith sound? Not unquestionably: Mufti Abu Layth says every chain, in al-Bukhari, Muslim and elsewhere, has a weak or disputed link, too little to override the Quran. Lessonposition checkedreport: women are the majority of the people of hell and lacking in intellect and faith (in Sahih al-Bukhari and Sahih Muslim, number not stated)Sahih al-BukhariSahih Muslimal-Bukhari machine9 min 13 s30:42on YouTube
20 Apr 2018From the Mind of a Mufti Was Abu Hanifa considered a deviant by the scholars of his time? Many leading scholars of Abu Hanifa's time considered him misguided. His school rose to dominance because his student Abu Yusuf became chief judge and appointed only Hanafis, which Mufti Abu Layth says shows that power, not evidence, often decides which views prevail.

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.

9 Feb 2018On the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ Is every hadith in Sahih al-Bukhari authentic? Not necessarily: Mufti Abu Layth says al-Bukhari did an excellent job, a hundred unreliable reports among eight thousand would be no big deal, and great scholars disagreed in their rulings.

21 Dec 2016video Where will the answers to Muslims' problems today come from? From Muslims themselves: as Abdullah ibn al-Mubarak said, legends will be born to carry the deen, and Allah sends revivers in every generation.
