22 Dec 2021video What do Sunni Muslims think of the twelve Shia imams? The Shia imams are generally respected in Sunni Islam but are not used as reference points; he suspects Ja'far al-Sadiq was closer to the Shia picture of him than Sunnis admit, as an assumption. Sunnis and Shia should agree to disagree and be fair to each other.

16 Feb 2021Monday Nights with Mufti Abu Layth What does the Mufti think of Shaykh Dedew, and did Imam Ahmad dislike Abu Hanifa?

15 Feb 2021video Why does Bukhari accept a narrator who praised Ali's killer while Shia narrators are rejected? Mufti Abu Layth calls it a double standard that al-Bukhari accepts as trustworthy a narrator who praised Ibn Muljam for killing Ali, while reports from Imam Jafar and other Shia imams are rejected because of their source.

6 Dec 2020video Why don't Sunni imams like Malik and Abu Hanifa transmit from Imam Jafar al-Sadiq? Mufti Abu Layth's theory is that the early imams of the Ahl al-Bayt were for the most part as the Shia describe them, so Malik and Abu Hanifa, though respectful of them, did not transmit from them because it would have caused a political storm. He adds that this does not make the Shia theological claims more authentic.

6 Dec 2020video Did Imam Malik and Abu Hanifa study under Imam Jafar al-Sadiq, and what did they learn from him? Malik and Abu Hanifa kept Imam Jafar's company and attended his circles but transmitted nothing from him, which Mufti Abu Layth explains by their disagreement with teaching that largely reflected the Shia da'wah. He calls the claim that they took only 'spirituality' from him absurd. Question from live chatposition checkedImam Jafar al-SadiqImam MalikAbu HanifaAhl al-Bayt machine2 min 09 s6:37on YouTube
24 Jul 2019Quick Fiqh! Did Hasan and Husayn wear earrings? Ibn Abbas lists piercing the ear among seven sunnahs for a newborn boy, and Hasan and Husayn had their ears pierced and wore earrings, Husayn wearing two. The reports come through Imam Jafar al-Sadiq's chain and an eyewitness account from Karbala.

24 Jul 2019Quick Fiqh! Can reports from Shia sources about Hasan and Husayn be trusted? Mufti Abu Layth accepts the reports as factual, saying the Shia had no reason to invent earrings for their own Imams, and calls it hypocrisy that Sunnis accept Imran ibn Hittan, a Khariji who praised Ali's killer, as a narrator in Sahih al-Bukhari while rejecting anything from Imam Jafar al-Sadiq.

10 May 2019video Did any early scholars allow marrying Zoroastrians or idol worshippers? Yes: some companions and early scholars allowed relations with Zoroastrian and even idol-worshipping women. Same-faith marriage was stressed because early Islam needed stable Muslim families, and it remains strongly encouraged.
