6 Apr 2021Monday Nights with Mufti Abu Layth LatestDoes Mufti Abu Layth have any scholarly precedent for his views? His views have respected precedents: al-Burzuli, a Maliki Shaykh al-Islam, held that punishments change with the age, and the subcontinent scholars he quotes were Ahl al-Hadith, not heretics. Not every untrue statement is a sin punished with hell. Lessonguest speechal-Burzuli [?]punishments change with the ageIbn AshurAbdul Karim Athari [?] machine3 min 50 s3:10:56on YouTube
6 Apr 2021Monday Nights with Mufti Abu Layth Was the murdered man in the story of the cow brought back to life? The verse of the heifer does not say the dead man was revived; like 'in retaliation there is life', it refers to lives saved when a ritual of justice averted tribal war.

9 Feb 2021Monday Nights with Mufti Abu Layth Did Maliki scholars really allow fines instead of hudud punishments? Mufti Abu Layth says the Maliki fatwa allowing punishment through wealth was the work of a major scholar and was practised as law for centuries, not a forgotten opinion.

12 Jan 2021Monday Nights with Mufti Abu Layth Why do you call yourself a Maliki? Mufti Abu Layth calls himself Maliki because he follows the lens of the school of Medina: the Quran at the centre, Medinan practice, reason and the aims of the shari'ah.

19 Jun 2020MindTrap with Mufti Abu Layth Was there ever a verse of stoning in the Quran, and does stoning still apply? The guest says Umar's 'verse of rajm' refers to the muharaba verse 5:33, from which exemplary punishment including stoning derives, and that it still applies to extreme crimes under strict conditions. Mufti Abu Layth holds that the Prophet only condoned stoning from Jewish practice until the lashing verse, and that under Maliki scholars like al-Burzuli the hudud change with the age.

22 Apr 2020MindTrap with Mufti Abu Layth Can hudud punishments such as stoning or hand-cutting change with the times? Mufti Abu Layth holds that stoning was a pre-Quranic practice abrogated by the Quran and that the Sharia's punishments reflect their age, as Maliki scholars and the Ottomans applied. The guest agrees that the spirit of the law can require departing from its letter, as Umar did when he suspended hand-cutting in a famine.

20 Dec 2018From the Mind of a Mufti Is homosexuality haram in Islam, and why were the people of Lut destroyed? Mufti Abu Layth accepts the majority view that homosexual acts are haram, but says the punishments scholars assigned were variable public-order measures that changed over time, that the people of Lut were destroyed primarily for rejecting their prophet, and that the ruling does not require hatred of homosexual people.

14 Sep 2017From the Mind of a Mufti Can Islamic punishments like stoning and cutting off hands change with time? Yes, in his understanding: the Sharia itself asks for punishments fitting the age, so today they would be replaced by penalties such as prison, following Maliki and other precedents.
