22 Feb 2023video LatestShould scholars publicly condemn a scholar said to have joined in a libation ritual? Mufti Abu Layth does not think people have to condemn the scholar; to Mufti, pouring some water at a protest, as the scholar says he did without knowing the ritual's history, is not a big deal.

22 Feb 2023video Should Muslims tell gay people what the Quran says about homosexuality? Mufti Abu Layth says Americans are overwhelmingly not Muslim, so speaking on issues there means speaking to non-Muslim norms rather than preaching the Quran to them.

21 Nov 2020video Why do popular preachers promote belief in jinn possession? Mufti Abu Layth will answer Omar Suleiman's clip as a prime example of preachers promoting superstition; he says they appease the market that buys their commodity. LessonOmar Suleimanjinn machine2 min 39 s0:02on YouTube
21 Nov 2020video The clip: Omar Suleiman on jinn possession, the riba verse and disobedience In the clip Omar Suleiman says jinn possession is real and affirmed by the riba verse, that most imams have seen supernatural cases, and that disobedience, especially leaving prayer and riba, removes Allah's protection and invites possession.

21 Nov 2020video Can there be a balanced view on whether jinn possess people? A supernatural claim cannot be balanced; possession is either real or not. If disobedience, missing prayer and riba invited possession, most of the globe would be possessed. Lessonposition checkedOmar Suleimanribajinn machine5 min 15 s6:34on YouTube
21 Nov 2020video What would jinn gain by possessing people, and what follows if they could? If jinn could possess people or take any form, nothing in Islam could be trusted and no one would be responsible for their crimes; Mufti Abu Layth notes that only Muslims who believe in possession seem to be afflicted.

21 Nov 2020video Is the jinn exorcism and ruqya industry a fraud? The ruqya industry is largely a fraud drenched in abuse; the Mu'tazila, who rejected possession, were never afflicted, and al-Jahiz already recorded a practitioner using a possession claim to explain away a lost virginity.

21 Nov 2020video Is Omar Suleiman trained as a scholar, and will anyone debate Mufti Abu Layth on jinn possession? Mufti Abu Layth challenges any shaykh to debate jinn possession on his show and says Omar Suleiman, though commendable for his civil rights work, is not trained as a scholar or qualified to give rulings.

22 Sep 2020Monday Nights with Mufti Abu Layth What is the Pagan-gate row about Omar Suleiman? Mufti Abu Layth sees Pagan-gate as a power game: imams may seek status, but wrapping it in high religiosity is what invites attacks like this.

22 Sep 2020Monday Nights with Mufti Abu Layth Did the scholars now attacking Daniel Haqiqatjou once promote him?

19 Sep 2019Responding to Refutations Islamic institutes, preachers' depth of learning, and passionate converts Mufti Abu Layth says the preacher was, he believes, referring to the Yaqeen Institute, and that if this is what they promote they need to revisit themselves. He says he respects and applauds Omar Suleiman's social justice work and protests for discriminated communities, but says such preachers have not really studied Islam in depth or qualified through a formal institute, are put on a pedestal by the institution and must then cement it, and were mostly very Wahhabi-inclined at one point. He says Asadullah al-Andalusi [?] once held ridiculous views about killing ex-Muslims and apostates, which he thinks he has since turned away from. He applauds converts for a step he thinks few born Muslims would take, mentioning Hamza Yusuf as one who studied deeply and to whom many are indebted, while noting that some converts with turbulent backgrounds embrace Islam as a cause.

30 Nov 2018Mothers of the Believers: The Wives of the Blessed Prophet ﷺ Was Aisha really nine, as Yaqeen Institute concluded? Mufti Abu Layth rejects the conclusion that Aisha was six at marriage and nine at its consummation, saying such a marriage would be morally abhorrent and did not happen. He disputes the claim that the question is not a moral one and says the chains of the report are unreliable.

30 Nov 2018Mothers of the Believers: The Wives of the Blessed Prophet ﷺ What evidence suggests Aisha was older than nine when she married? Mufti Abu Layth argues that a six-year-old could not have been the help the Prophet needed, and that the battle reports, her earlier engagement, her age at death and her memory of a Makkan verse point to her being at least seventeen.

30 Nov 2018Mothers of the Believers: The Wives of the Blessed Prophet ﷺ Why do some scholars still insist Aisha was nine? Lacking an earlier authority is no reason to keep the young age, since medieval scholars also accepted slavery and other rulings no one would defend today. No hadith gives certain knowledge, so an inconclusive report that blemishes the Prophet's honour is rejected. Lessonposition checkedAishaal-AlbaniIbn Taymiyyaijma' machine4 min 36 s15:43on YouTube
