19 Mar 2022video Is mut'ah (temporary marriage) haram for Sunni Muslims? Mufti Abu Layth says most Sunnis hold mut'ah haram but a minority, including Ibn Ashur, held it is not categorically haram; follow the view you hold and do not fight over it.

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
2 Mar 2021Monday Nights with Mufti Abu Layth Is Yasir Qadhi giving the whole picture on the Maliki scholars and Jesus's return? Using Qadhi's own talk on Gog and Magog, Mufti Abu Layth says Qadhi tells half truths, citing the Maliki authorities without their view that the hadith on Jesus are not conclusively established.

10 Dec 2020video Can we substitute words of the Quran today as the companions did? No: the Quran was dynamic in the Prophet's time, but after Uthman's codex and the canonised readings it has reached us fixed, so changing it today would not be correct. He feels word substitution was the original default, not a mere dispensation.

3 Jul 2020MindTrap with Mufti Abu Layth Were the companions allowed to change words of the Quran, and was that only a temporary concession? The guest argues the Prophet allowed multiple oral forms of the Quran; Mufti Abu Layth says this dynamism was the Quran's inherent nature, not a temporary concession.

4 Nov 2019From the Mind of a Mufti Is mut'ah (temporary marriage) haram? Mut'ah is not haram in his understanding: the reports prohibiting it are contradictory and it is very hard to prove haram. Nobody is obliged to do it, and much of the hostility to it is anti-Shia sentiment.

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
4 May 2018Clarifying False Hadith Which Insult Islam Should I refuse to shake hands with the opposite sex where it is the custom? Follow the convention you are in: where people do not shake hands, do not; where they do, you may act on the fatwa of the scholars who permit it, since no clear verse or hadith forbids it. Losing citizenship over a handshake was not a battle worth choosing.

20 Apr 2018From the Mind of a Mufti Was Abu Hanifa considered a deviant by the scholars of his time? Many leading scholars of Abu Hanifa's time considered him misguided. His school rose to dominance because his student Abu Yusuf became chief judge and appointed only Hanafis, which Mufti Abu Layth says shows that power, not evidence, often decides which views prevail.

28 Feb 2018Responding to Refutations What do the classical Maliki books say about witnesses in a marriage? The Maliki authorities he reads hold that a marriage without witnesses is valid unless it is meant to be secret; witnesses or an announcement are required before consummation.

9 Feb 2018On the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ Is the hadith of the crying tree trunk authentic?

17 May 2017Ramadan Q&A Fast & Fiqhious LatestShould I pray 8 or 20 rak'ahs of tarawih? Tarawih has no fixed number: eight, the least the Prophet prayed, is the base and anything above it is valid.

11 Jan 2017Mothers of the Believers: The Wives of the Blessed Prophet ﷺ Premise two: hadith absolutism versus hadith relativism Scholars were divided from the start between treating every authenticated hadith as binding and reading it against Islam's wider principles.

20 Mar 2015video Do I have to wear my trousers above my ankles? No: for men, wearing the garment below the ankles is not haram unless it is done out of arrogance, in which case the hadith apply; otherwise it is at most makruh. In today's societies covering the ankles is normal and carries no arrogance, so insisting on it misses the purpose of the ruling.
