19 Apr 2020MindTrap with Mufti Abu Layth Why do people get so upset about Islamic rulings on sex? The guest blames a culture of shame in the subcontinent, and says the classical scholars and al-Bukhari show there is no shyness in learning the religion and that legitimate differences cannot be denounced.

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.

10 May 2018Ponderings on the Holy Quran Is Ikrima, the narrator of the apostasy hadith, reliable? The main chains of 'whoever changes his religion, kill him' run through Ikrima, whom he describes as a Khariji, and whom Imam Malik and many early authorities rejected or called a liar.

15 Mar 2018Responding to Refutations Does 'before his death' in Quran 4:159 refer to the return of Jesus? No: Mufti Abu Layth says early authorities including Ibn Abbas, Mujahid and al-Dahhak read the pronoun as the Christian who realises the truth at death, and Ubayy ibn Ka'b's recitation has 'before their death'. Referring it to Jesus's return would exclude every Christian who died over two thousand years.

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.
