29 Sep 2024On Current Events LatestIs someone who says something wrong about the Prophet guilty of blasphemy? Not when there was no such intention: Mufti Abu Layth says Mufti Tariq Masood was clearly wrong, but he meant to praise the Prophet, so calling him a blasphemer is unacceptable.

18 Sep 2019From the Mind of a Mufti Why is everything permissible by default in Islamic law unless proven haram? By default everything is conclusively permissible, since Allah created everything on earth for us and what He was silent about is pardoned, and that certainty can only be removed by certainty, not by a hadith that remains probable. So Mufti Abu Layth does not declare music halal; Allah has, and the evidence against it falls short of overturning that.

30 Aug 2018BukhariGate: Issues with Sahih al-Bukhari Who vouched for Farabri? Baji, Sam'ani and whether transmission implies reliability Nobody who knew Farabri declared him reliable, and the attributions to al-Baji and al-Sam'ani cannot be found in their works. That scholars transmitted from him proves nothing, since transmission is not endorsement.

30 Aug 2018BukhariGate: Issues with Sahih al-Bukhari Farabri's incomplete copy, the differing student copies and the manuscript patchwork Farabri's copy was incomplete and rearranged, his students' copies differ in chains and hadith, and every later manuscript down to the Sultaniyya edition was a patchwork that needed correction.

3 Aug 2018Responding to Refutations Can Sahih al-Bukhari be proven to go back to Imam al-Bukhari? Mufti Abu Layth says it cannot be proven beyond reasonable doubt: the printed Sultaniyya rests on the lost Yuniniyya, the copies disagree, al-Saghani's claimed copy of Farabri's text is unseen, and Farabri himself was vouched for only centuries later. He challenges his critics to prove otherwise. Lessonposition checkedSunni Defence (YouTube channel)Sahih al-BukhariImam al-BukhariMuhammad ibn Yusuf al-Farabri machine6 min 30 s9:05on YouTube
22 Apr 2018Clarifying False Hadith Which Insult Islam What did the Maliki scholars say about women travelling with a safe group? Mufti Abu Layth cites al-Baji that a woman is safe without a mahram in large caravans and busy highways, and reads Imam Malik's ordering of the hadith as showing they were about safety.

22 Apr 2018Clarifying False Hadith Which Insult Islam Is it safe and allowed for a woman to fly alone? Yes: Mufti Abu Layth says a woman may travel alone, including by air, since the ruling was always about safety, and rejects the claim that only a husband can protect her.

9 May 2014video Did Imam Malik allow a woman to show her face to her husband's friends? One speaker reads Imam Malik's fatwa allowing a woman to eat with her husband's friends as proof that the face is uncovered; the other cites the later split between young and older women.
