6 Oct 2021Malik Resources Is there a sahih hadith on where to put my hands in salah? There is no sahih hadith fixing where the hands go in salah; sadl, praying with the hands at the sides, is a sunnah of the school of Madinah without a hadith. Not every hadith is sunnah and not every sunnah was recorded in a hadith. Lessonposition checkeddistinction between sunnah and hadithImam MalikAbu HanifaHanafi school machine9 min 51 s0:00on YouTube
14 Mar 2021video Which Quranic verses count against Jesus returning? Mufti Abu Layth reads 43:61 as the Quran being knowledge of the Hour, as Hasan and others said, and cites 5:75, 21:34 and 43:59 against a return: Jesus ate food and was subject to natural laws, no human before the Prophet was given eternal life, and Jesus is called an example for the children of Israel alone.

2 Mar 2021Monday Nights with Mufti Abu Layth Which verses of the Quran count against Jesus coming back? 43:61 refers to the Quran as knowledge of the Hour, not to Jesus; 5:75, 21:34 and 43:59, which Qadhi does not mention, count against a return.

19 Apr 2020MindTrap with Mufti Abu Layth Do non-Muslim women in a Muslim country have to cover up? The guest says early scholars held that non-Muslim women cannot be forced to cover and that the prohibition on looking was applied only to believing women.

20 Oct 2018Responding to Refutations Does the Quran say Ibrahim was thrown into the fire, or that the table was sent down to Jesus's disciples? No verse of the Quran says that Ibrahim was thrown into the fire or that the table came down to the disciples, and 'incline them towards you' is the literal wording of 2:260. These are readings of the text as it stands, and calling those who hold them deviants is unacceptable.

15 Apr 2018Debunking Myths On: Jinns, Magic, the Evil Eye, and Superstitions Magic in the Quran: Musa and Pharaoh's magicians, an illusion In the Quran the magic of Pharaoh's magicians was only an illusion; Musa's fear was a natural human reaction, not proof that the magic was real.

15 Mar 2018Responding to Refutations Does Quran 43:61 say Jesus is the sign of the hour? No: Hasan al-Basri read 'knowledge of the hour' as the Quran, others as the Prophet, and the verse says knowledge, not sign, so the critics must interpret it too. Mufti Abu Layth adds that the Mahdi was also called mutawatir by Ibn Hajar, al-Shawkani and others yet is absent from al-Tahawi's creed.

13 Mar 2018Islamic Eschatology Verses 4:159 and 43:61: 'before his death' and 'knowledge of the hour' Neither 4:159 nor 43:61 establishes a return: the early exegetes read 4:159 of each Christian at death, Ubayy's reading is plural, and 43:61 says knowledge, not sign.
