12 Jan 2021Monday Nights with Mufti Abu Layth Is the hadith 'if there were a prophet after me it would be Umar' authentic? Mufti Abu Layth says the hadith is a fabrication, made up to glorify Umar; one may revere Umar and still disagree with his opinions.

14 Jan 2019Ponderings on the Holy Quran Is al-Khidr a prophet, and is he still alive? Classical scholars disagreed on whether al-Khidr was a prophet or a saint, and many held he is still alive while others denied it. Mufti Abu Layth likens the stories of his appearances to saint legends in other religions.

30 Aug 2018BukhariGate: Issues with Sahih al-Bukhari Summing up: judge Bukhari like any other book; the deen comes through living practice Bukhari should be read like any other hadith book, each report judged on its merits against reason, the Quran and established principles. The religion itself reaches Muslims through the living tradition of practice, not through this book.

3 Aug 2018Responding to Refutations How should Muslims decide which hadith to accept and which to reject? Follow Imam Malik: accept some hadith and reject others. A report is accepted if it does not clash with reason, the Quran, the transmitted and corroborated Sunnah such as the practice of Madinah, or a principle of Islam; otherwise it is treated with caution.

29 Jul 2018Clarifying False Hadith Which Insult Islam Does the Quran say most people in hell are women? No: Mufti Abu Layth says the Quran speaks of mankind as a whole, all created weak, and never divides the people of hell by gender, so the report clashes with it.

29 Jul 2018Clarifying False Hadith Which Insult Islam Do women really curse more than men, as the hadith says? No: Mufti Abu Layth says men swear more than women across cultures and ingratitude is shared by both, so the report's reasons are factual errors.

9 Apr 2018The Voice of Reason in Islam When should a hadith be rejected, and can a Muslim refuse a religious command that makes no sense? A hadith is accepted only if it does not contradict reason, the transmitted sources or an established principle, as Ibn al-Jawzi wrote; the companion who refused an order to jump into a fire shows reason rightly judging a command.

1 Apr 2018Islamic Eschatology On what principles can a hadith in Bukhari be rejected, and may ordinary Muslims do so? A valid chain is not enough: a report must not go against reason, the established Quran and Sunnah, or the principles of Islam, and the Hanafi-Maturidi majority require mutawatir hadith for creed. Lay people may suspend a hadith that troubles them while seeking guidance; the gecko hadith is given as a report Mufti Abu Layth considers made up.

13 Mar 2018Islamic Eschatology Three conditions for accepting a hadith; Ibn Uthaymin and the Jassasa report A hadith is accepted only if it does not contradict reason, the Quran and established Sunnah, or uproot a principle of Islam; the Jesus reports fail this test, and even Ibn Uthaymin rejected a sahih Dajjal report on such grounds.

13 Mar 2018Islamic Eschatology Stop calling Bukhari the most authentic book after the Quran; fiqh preserved the living Sunnah Sahih al-Bukhari is an excellent effort but should not be called the most authentic book after the Quran; hadith are sifted, while fiqh and the madhhabs carry the Sunnah in living form.
