19 Apr 2023video LatestWhy does the practice of Madinah matter more than a single hadith? Mufti Abu Layth says the inherited practice of Madinah, like its adhan, outweighs an isolated report, since not every Sunnah was documented and narrators made honest mistakes; this is why he favours the school of Madinah.

10 Dec 2022video How did the Hanafi school develop from Abu Hanifa's teaching? Abu Hanifa's students, above all Imam Muhammad, turned his spirit into an institution through the six books of the zahir al-riwaya, and Mufti Abu Layth feels the madhhab later lost that spirit and became focused on the letter of the law.

6 Apr 2021Monday Nights with Mufti Abu Layth Can I carry a child while I pray? Mufti Abu Layth says one may carry a child while praying and that Hanafi rulings such as the three-movement rule, or that laughing or reading something breaks the prayer, are made up. He sees the campaign against the preacher who showed this as sectarian jealousy. Lessonposition checkedHanafi schoolAbu HanifaAbu YusufIbn Abidin [?] machine12 min 45 s23:17on YouTube
29 Jan 2021MindTrap with Mufti Abu Layth Why does Shaykh Atabek want to restore the early Hanafi school? The guest wants to restore the early Hanafi school of a fully independent Abu Hanifa; Mufti Abu Layth says Abu Hanifa championed reason but his school later became almost his opposite.

29 Jan 2021MindTrap with Mufti Abu Layth Was there a power struggle in the early Hanafi school? Mufti Abu Layth feels the early Hanafi school saw power struggles and that Abu Yusuf lacked Abu Hanifa's reason; the guest calls Ahmad ibn Hanbal the greatest muhaddith but not a jurist of the first rank.

29 Jan 2021MindTrap with Mufti Abu Layth What is wijada, and why does it matter for the hadith on killing apostates? The guest says the apostasy hadith cannot justify killing, since its own wording is not followed and it reaches us only by wijada; Mufti Abu Layth blames the Salafi call for putting raw hadith in place of the madhhabs.

29 Jan 2021MindTrap with Mufti Abu Layth Who was Abu Hanifa's most trusted student? The guest relies chiefly on Zufar, whom he says Abu Hanifa himself authorised to teach, over Imam Muhammad, who was a teenager when Abu Hanifa died; Zufar's sidelining is left for another session.

12 Jan 2021Monday Nights with Mufti Abu Layth Has Islam become more polarised between puritans and liberals? Yes, he says Islam is far more polarised today than historically, but he is optimistic it is a fever through which a more natural Islam can return.

22 Sep 2020Monday Nights with Mufti Abu Layth Do women have to cover their wrists and ankles in prayer?

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.

1 Apr 2018Islamic Eschatology Does it matter that the second coming of Jesus is the majority opinion and Mufti Abu Layth's view a minority one? If every detail of the second-coming hadith is a metaphor, Mufti Abu Layth asks why Jesus himself is not. Majority and minority opinions are decided later by power and politics, as Abu Hanifa's case shows: condemned as a deviant by his contemporaries, his school spread when Abu Yusuf appointed only Hanafi judges.
