14 Mar 2021video Why does Mufti Abu Layth say the Bukhari chain for Jesus's descent is unreliable? The first Bukhari chain leaves two narrators' names ambiguous, a practice al-Dhahabi and Ibn Hajar record of al-Bukhari, and passes through al-Zuhri, whom the critics describe as inserting his own words into reports and making mursal reports reach the Prophet.

17 Sep 2018On the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ Is the chain of the hadith that the Prophet died of poison reliable? Mufti Abu Layth finds the chains unacceptable: the Bukhari version runs through Yunus, whom early critics faulted for his memory, and through al-Zuhri, who does not state that he heard it, while the Abu Dawud version has a narrator criticised for mistakes.

4 May 2018Clarifying False Hadith Which Insult Islam Is a woman's prayer rejected if she wears perfume to the mosque? No: Mufti Abu Layth says the report is a statement attributed to Abu Hurayra through unknown and weak narrators, not a hadith of the Prophet, and no one holds that such a prayer is invalid.

21 Feb 2018Responding to Refutations Can a hadith narrated by Jabir alone be mutawatir? No: mutawatir requires so many transmissions that a lie is impossible, which a report from Jabir alone cannot be, and he says the report is not even sahih. He defends following the critics who weakened the narrator rather than those who graded him reliable.

21 Feb 2018Responding to Refutations Did Ibn Ma'in consider Isma'il ibn Abi Uways and his family reliable? Mufti Abu Layth says that although one transmitted opinion of Ibn Ma'in accepts him, Ibn Ma'in is also transmitted as counting the household of Abu Uways among the weak. He adds that Abu al-Zubayr was weakened by several critics, so none of the chains the critics brought is conclusive.
