19 Aug 2022video LatestWhat did the classical Maliki scholars say about the satanic verses story? Mufti Abu Layth says the Maliki scholars, Abu Bakr ibn al-Arabi and Qadi Iyad among them, rejected the story as fabricated, and that al-Tabari records the narrations but concludes they are false.

19 Aug 2022video What does the Quran say against the satanic verses story? Mufti Abu Layth says al-Suyuti repeated Ibn Hajar's mistake, while the Quran rules the story out: the Prophet does not speak from desire and Satan has no power to speak in his voice.

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.

14 Mar 2021video Does 'he will speak to people in maturity' or 'before his death' prove that Jesus will return? The verse about Jesus speaking in the cradle and in maturity concerns those he addresses, children and grown men, and the first to read it as a return was al-Husayn ibn al-Fadl, who died in 282 AH and transmitted strange reports. 'Before his death' was recited by Ubayy and Ibn Abbas as 'before their death' and read by commentators as referring to Jesus, the Prophet, the truth or Allah.

2 Mar 2021Monday Nights with Mufti Abu Layth Does the verse about Jesus speaking 'in maturity' mean he will come back? Neither verse proves a return: 'in the cradle and in maturity' refers to the people Jesus addresses, the return reading began with a late transmitter of strange reports, and 'before his death' has several readings.

6 Dec 2018Ponderings on the Holy Quran Does the Quran support human evolution? Mufti Abu Layth reads several verses as arguing for evolution and says Eve is not named in the Quran. No one has to accept evolution, but those who do should not be called heretics.

20 Oct 2018Responding to Refutations Is evolution compatible with the Quran? The Quran's verses on creation in stages, growth from the earth, the single self and the couple of 7:189 are reconcilable with evolution, which Mufti Abu Layth calls a scientific fact established through genetics. Hawwa is not named in the Quran, and those who accept evolution should not be called deviants.

4 May 2018Clarifying False Hadith Which Insult Islam Which scholars say men and women may shake hands, and what about 'I do not shake hands with women'? The hadith 'I do not shake hands with women' is set against Umm Atiyya's narrations of the women's pledge, which some read as the Prophet shaking hands. Contemporary scholars including the Shaykh of al-Azhar, Bin Bayyah and the European fatwa council have ruled that shaking hands is permitted. Lessonquoted view, not his positionQuran 4:43 (aw lamastum al-nisa; the phrase also in 5:6)report: i do not shake hands with womenreport: umm atiyya said the prophet stretched out his hand and we stretched out our hands at the pledgeUmm Atiyya machine3 min 57 s2:36on YouTube
6 Sep 2017From the Mind of a Mufti Is choosing the easier scholarly opinion just following my desires? In this clip Shaykh Akram Nadwi gives examples of al-Shafi'i, Abu Hanifa and al-Tabari giving easier minority rulings, and says choosing among the jurists' opinions is not following one's nafs.
