19 Aug 2022video Why did Ibn Hajar say the satanic verses story has some basis? Mufti Abu Layth says Ibn Hajar wrongly argued that the many weak chains give the story a basis, and attributes the mistake to passion for the hadith project rather than malice.

13 Apr 2021Monday Nights with Mufti Abu Layth When should reason take priority over religious texts? Reason always comes first, Mufti Abu Layth says, because every reading of scripture is already an interpretation; hadith dogmatism grew from Ibn Taymiyya's era and revived under colonialism.

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 Who vouched for Farabri? Baji, Sam'ani and whether transmission implies reliability Nobody who knew Farabri declared him reliable, and the attributions to al-Baji and al-Sam'ani cannot be found in their works. That scholars transmitted from him proves nothing, since transmission is not endorsement.

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.

21 Feb 2018Responding to Refutations How does he view the Salafi movement, and is hadith narrator criticism a divine science? The Salafi movement began as a courageous rejection of tradition but, once established, became as dogmatic as what it opposed. Narrator criticism is a human science, so it is always open to revision and disagreement.

11 Jan 2017Mothers of the Believers: The Wives of the Blessed Prophet ﷺ Why is the report that Aisha was six and nine so much better known than the others? The six-and-nine report became prominent as a by-product of hadith absolutism and the later sanctification of Bukhari and Muslim. Ordinary Muslims historically knew only that Aisha was young.
