29 Sep 2024On Current Events Why is lanasfa'an in Quran 96:15 written with an alif, and is it a mistake? It is not a mistake: Mufti Abu Layth shows from Sibawayh that the emphatic nun becomes an alif when stopping on it, so the alif spelling is the traditional one.

19 Jun 2020MindTrap with Mufti Abu Layth Do the early manuscripts with different words undermine the preservation of the Quran? The guest says such manuscripts were bound to exist once people wrote down the readings, and that a reading needs correct Arabic and a chain to the Prophet, with ijtihad only in preference. Mufti Abu Layth adds that the harshest critics of the readings were Muslim grammarians of Basra such as al-Mazini, until later grammarians like Ibn Malik embraced them.

24 Jul 2019Quick Fiqh! Did Imam Malik wear an earring? Yes: his teacher's biography of Imam Malik records that Malik, while still a youth studying with Rabi'a, had an earring in his ear, and another Maliki work on the hadith of the Mudawwana says the same.

30 Aug 2018BukhariGate: Issues with Sahih al-Bukhari Replies to critics: Jonathan Brown, academic dialogue, going public, the Aisha debate The problems with Bukhari should be discussed openly, because hiding them is what makes people lose faith. He finds Jonathan Brown's response emotional rather than academic and will take up the debate on Aisha's age.
