4 Aug 2020Monday Nights with Mufti Abu Layth How did hadith scholars know narrators who died a century earlier were reliable? Mufti Abu Layth says later hadith critics never disclosed how they knew long-dead narrators were reliable, leaving gaps in an impressive system.

19 Sep 2019Responding to Refutations Are the hadith about Aisha's young age authentic? Mufti Abu Layth says every chain for Aisha's young age is flawed, resting on narrators accused of tadlis and all going back to Urwa. Those who defend them put al-Bukhari's sanctity above the Prophet's honour. Discussionposition checkedAishaWahhabiDeobandiSahih al-Bukhari machine6 min 10 s6:57on YouTube
3 Aug 2018Responding to Refutations Is there an authentic hadith that a wife may never refuse her husband sex? Mufti Abu Layth says no version of the report that a wife cannot refuse her husband is free of criticism, since its chains run through al-A'mash and Qatada and carry hidden defects. He challenges his critics to produce one that cannot be faulted.

8 Jul 2018Responding to Refutations Do the angels curse a wife who refuses her husband in bed? No: Mufti Abu Layth holds the hadith is weak, resting on narrators who practised tadlis, and clashes with the Quran's command to treat wives with kindness.

8 Jul 2018Responding to Refutations Thanks for the correction, but the chain is still flawed Mufti Abu Layth accepts that three forum quotes were misrepresented but says he never relied on them: his case rests on the narrator's tadlis, which his critics have not refuted.

8 Jul 2018Responding to Refutations Was al-A'mash a reliable hadith narrator? Mufti Abu Layth cites classical critics who say al-A'mash committed tadlis, sometimes hiding weak narrators, and made many mistakes. This does not mean every narration of his in Bukhari and Muslim is weak. Discussional-A'mashAbu HurayraAbu Salih [?]Sahih Muslim machine9 min 28 s4:25on YouTube
9 Apr 2018The Voice of Reason in Islam Does Ali's saying about wiping the socks prove that religion is not based on reason? No: Mufti Abu Layth says the 'if the deen were by opinion' wording has a weak chain and is absent from several versions, that Malik's Muwatta records wiping both sides of the khuff, and that rituals are practices rather than claims against reason.
