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

19 Aug 2022video Recap: the novel, insult versus critique, and the false story summarised Mufti Abu Layth recaps that Rushdie's novel was an insult rather than a critique and that the satanic verses story is a fabrication rejected by al-Tabari, Ibn Khuzayma and Qadi Iyad, recommending al-Shifa and al-Albani's book.

15 May 2021video What solutions are possible for Palestine? Israel is here to stay, so the realistic options are a two-state solution, naturalising Palestinians within Israel, or relocation, for which al-Albani gave a fatwa of hijrah, compared to evacuating a house whose fire cannot be put out.

2 Mar 2021Monday Nights with Mufti Abu Layth Opening: tonight's plan, the Disclosure series, a Twitter storm and a song Housekeeping: Mufti Abu Layth sets out tonight's plan, chiefly a long reply to Yasir Qadhi on the second coming of Jesus and a Twitter storm over a suckling fatwa, and plays a song.

2 Mar 2021Monday Nights with Mufti Abu Layth Is the hadith about a woman breastfeeding the adult Salim authentic? Mufti Abu Layth calls the report of the adult Salim being suckled fabricated and mocks al-Albani's fatwa permitting it directly, welcoming Mohammed Hijab's attack on it as a sign he is outgrowing Salafism.

2 Mar 2021Monday Nights with Mufti Abu Layth Is Mohammed Hijab breaking away from the Salafis? Mufti Abu Layth thinks Hijab's point against the fatwa is fair, though his language was crude and not Mufti's style, and welcomes what he sees as Hijab outgrowing Salafism.

19 Apr 2020MindTrap with Mufti Abu Layth Is a marriage between a Muslim and a non-Muslim valid? Mufti Abu Layth says he holds that a nikah between a Muslim and a non-Muslim would be valid, especially for converts whose spouses remain non-Muslim; both say quoting recorded minority views gets them accused of opening Pandora's box.

19 Apr 2020MindTrap with Mufti Abu Layth Is masturbation haram in Islam? The guest says no Companion is reported to have forbidden masturbation and that the only evidence cited against it is the advice to fast; Mufti Abu Layth says modern society demonises men's sexuality.

19 Apr 2020MindTrap with Mufti Abu Layth Is pornography today like the concubines of the past? The guest rejects likening pornography to concubinage or mut'ah, calling it instant gratification, and describes Salafi efforts to suppress permissive classical texts; Mufti Abu Layth says these are real questions that need open discussion.

19 Apr 2020MindTrap with Mufti Abu Layth Does masturbation or other sexual activity break the fast? The guest says only intercourse is agreed to break the fast, citing Aisha's report and al-Albani; Mufti Abu Layth says he agrees that masturbation per se does not break the fast.

3 Nov 2019Responding to Refutations Did the Salafi movement play a part in producing modern extremism? Mufti Abu Layth says Salafis now oppose terrorism but their movement helped produce it, from the 1970s Salafi group to the 1979 Kaaba seizure, and that Qadhi's teachers belonged to that past.

30 Nov 2018Mothers of the Believers: The Wives of the Blessed Prophet ﷺ Why do some scholars still insist Aisha was nine? Lacking an earlier authority is no reason to keep the young age, since medieval scholars also accepted slavery and other rulings no one would defend today. No hadith gives certain knowledge, so an inconclusive report that blemishes the Prophet's honour is rejected. Lessonposition checkedAishaal-AlbaniIbn Taymiyyaijma' machine4 min 36 s15:43on YouTube
20 Oct 2018Responding to Refutations What is Yasir Qadhi's background, and where does the Salafi movement come from? Qadhi's arguments stem from a hard-line Salafi formation, and Wahhabism in Mufti Abu Layth's account is a doctrine of literalism hostile to reason founded by Muhammad ibn Abd al-Wahhab, whom he calls a deviant for permitting the killing and enslavement of Muslims. He traces the Salafi scholars of the 1970s to the movement behind the 1979 seizure of Mecca.

13 Mar 2018Islamic Eschatology Why do other scholars not see what Mufti Abu Layth sees about the return of Jesus?

13 Mar 2018Islamic Eschatology Zuhri's reports: Fatima's anger, the attempted suicide, and half the Jesus hadith Scholars discard Zuhri's Fatima and suicide reports as his insertions but refuse to question the Jesus reports, half of which come through him with disconnected chains; Mufti Abu Layth calls this a double standard.

21 Feb 2018Responding to Refutations Is it acceptable to criticise a hadith in Sahih al-Bukhari? Al-Albani himself rejected around a dozen reports in Bukhari, so criticising a Bukhari report does not make someone a deviant. The salaf understood the Quran's miracles in several ways, and miracles had causes within God's natural law.

17 May 2017Ramadan Q&A Fast & Fiqhious Does masturbation break my fast? Scholars differ: the majority hold that masturbation with ejaculation breaks the fast, by analogy with intercourse, while a minority including Ibn Hazm and some Hanafis hold that it does not, since no text says so. Mufti Abu Layth presents both views without committing to one.

11 Jan 2017Mothers of the Believers: The Wives of the Blessed Prophet ﷺ The ramifications: jurists on marrying a minor, and the conclusion Aisha was in her late teens, most likely eighteen or nineteen, Mufti Abu Layth concludes. Jurists from early on held marriage impermissible with a girl incapable of it, and the Ottomans set a minimum age of fifteen.
