10 Dec 2022video How did the Hanafi school develop from Abu Hanifa's teaching? Abu Hanifa's students, above all Imam Muhammad, turned his spirit into an institution through the six books of the zahir al-riwaya, and Mufti Abu Layth feels the madhhab later lost that spirit and became focused on the letter of the law.

9 Apr 2018The Voice of Reason in Islam How do we know the Quran is the word of God, if not by reason? Arguments that the Quran is true because it says so, is unlike other books, is eloquent or flawless, or speaks of rain and fruit are no stronger than a spiderweb, Mufti Abu Layth says; without reason one only believes Islam is true because one was told.

5 Mar 2018On Love, Romance, and Relationships Why is it so hard for young Muslims to marry, and what are they supposed to do about desire? Men of eighteen or nineteen are generally not ready for marriage but have strong sexual needs, and Mufti Abu Layth says current religious teaching offers no real solution. He calls advice to fast and lower the gaze inadequate and asks scholars to acknowledge the problem. Lessonposition checkedSherman Jacksonulama machine5 min 15 s5:10on YouTube
