19 Apr 2023video LatestDid Imam Malik reject the hadith he did not act on? No: Mufti Abu Layth says Imam Malik respected such hadith by recording them in the Muwatta while noting that Madinah did not act on them, a model of hadith relativism he recommends following.

19 Aug 2022video LatestWhat did the classical Maliki scholars say about the satanic verses story? Mufti Abu Layth says the Maliki scholars, Abu Bakr ibn al-Arabi and Qadi Iyad among them, rejected the story as fabricated, and that al-Tabari records the narrations but concludes they are false.

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.

19 Aug 2022video What does the Quran say against the satanic verses story? Mufti Abu Layth says al-Suyuti repeated Ibn Hajar's mistake, while the Quran rules the story out: the Prophet does not speak from desire and Satan has no power to speak in his voice.

19 Aug 2022video LatestWhich scholars accepted the satanic verses story and which rejected it? Mufti Abu Layth says al-Albani and Ibn Khuzayma rejected the story as a fabrication, while Ibn Taymiyya, Muhammad ibn Abd al-Wahhab and Ibn Hajar leaned towards giving it some basis.

19 Aug 2022video Recap: the novel, insult versus critique, and the false story summarised Mufti Abu Layth recaps that Rushdie's novel was an insult rather than a critique and that the satanic verses story is a fabrication rejected by al-Tabari, Ibn Khuzayma and Qadi Iyad, recommending al-Shifa and al-Albani's book.

18 Sep 2019From the Mind of a Mufti Why is celibacy praised despite a hadith against it while music is condemned without one? A sahih hadith condemns the vow never to marry, yet unmarried scholars are praised in books like Abu Ghudda's, because celibacy fits the picture of religion as self-denial; music, which fits the opposite picture, is condemned although no clear sahih hadith names it. The default law remains that everything is permissible unless proven otherwise.

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.

4 May 2018Clarifying False Hadith Which Insult Islam What evidence do scholars use to allow men and women to shake hands? Scholars who permit it cite 'do not frighten people away', the verse on returning greetings, Abu Musa having a woman comb his hair on Hajj, and the Sahih report that Umm Haram combed the Prophet's hair and let him nap at her house. The Umm Haram report is one scholars struggled with. Lessonquoted view, not his positionreport: give glad tidings and do not frighten people awayQuran 4:86 (when you are greeted, return a better greeting or return it)Yusuf al-Qaradawi [?] (name garbled in the transcript)report: abu musa al-ashari had a woman of his tribe comb through his hair while on hajj machine2 min 37 s6:33on YouTube
4 May 2018Clarifying False Hadith Which Insult Islam Should I refuse to shake hands with the opposite sex where it is the custom? Follow the convention you are in: where people do not shake hands, do not; where they do, you may act on the fatwa of the scholars who permit it, since no clear verse or hadith forbids it. Losing citizenship over a handshake was not a battle worth choosing.

15 Apr 2018Debunking Myths On: Jinns, Magic, the Evil Eye, and Superstitions The seven ajwa dates hadith as hyperbole The hadith that ajwa dates protect from poison and magic is hyperbole praising dates; classical commentators did not take it literally either.

9 Apr 2018The Voice of Reason in Islam If Mufti Abu Layth admires Qadi Iyad, must he accept everything in al-Shifa? No: Mufti Abu Layth says al-Shifa was written to instil love of the Prophet in a context of insults and knowingly includes weak and fabricated reports, and that admiring Qadi Iyad, who himself disagreed with Malik, does not make him a clone.

28 Feb 2018Responding to Refutations What do the classical Maliki books say about witnesses in a marriage? The Maliki authorities he reads hold that a marriage without witnesses is valid unless it is meant to be secret; witnesses or an announcement are required before consummation.

21 Feb 2018Responding to Refutations What does he say to critics who accept that the Prophet was impotent, married a nine-year-old or was bewitched into clumsiness? Mufti Abu Layth says these claims are untrue attacks on the Prophet's honour, resting on reports whose chains he has shown to be defective, and that critics who affirm them to win an argument are themselves being blasphemous. He adds that he does not support capital punishment for such speech. Lessonposition checkedSunni Defence (YouTube channel)Qadi Iyadahl al-hadith mentality [?]consent machine6 min 14 s42:14on YouTube
2 Jan 2018Responding to Refutations Shaving the beard: Qadi Iyad's view and the demand for one hadith The view that shaving the beard is not haram is presented as Qadi Iyad's, and Mufti Abu Layth challenges the critic to produce a hadith teaching how to keep a beard. He adds that truth is not decided by the number of scholars holding a view. Lessonquoted view, not his positionAbu Ibraheem HusnaynQadi IyadSahih MuslimIbn Baz machine3 min 53 s10:31on YouTube
2 Jan 2018Responding to Refutations Anal intercourse: the difference of opinion and the chains of the critic's hadith On anal intercourse Mufti Abu Layth says only that there is a difference of opinion: the majority held it haram, many Malikis did not and disliked it for hygiene. He argues that every hadith the critic quoted against it has a weak or disconnected chain.
