12 Jan 2021Monday Nights with Mufti Abu Layth Why do clever preachers stay stuck in dogmatism? Mufti Abu Layth says knowing a lot is not the same as reasoning well; much of the dogmatist scene relies on rote learning, and Zakir Naik has done Islam real damage.

5 Jan 2021Monday Nights with Mufti Abu Layth Is anal intercourse with my wife haram?

4 Jan 2021video Is masturbation haram in Islam? In the clip Yasir Qadhi says the majority hold masturbation to be haram, but that others held it makruh or permissible, citing Ibn Abbas's reply to a young man and Ibn Hazm, and that he believes there is no sin in it although it is better avoided. This is Qadhi's view played for discussion, not Mufti Abu Layth's own statement.

4 Jan 2021video Reaction to the clip: Qadhi joins Zakir Naik in calling it not haram, with jokes about 'the nobility' Mufti Abu Layth notes that Yasir Qadhi, like Zakir Naik before him, now says masturbation is not haram but merely not a noble deed, and jokes about left-handers and 'the nobility'.

4 Jan 2021video Why are Salafi scholars now saying masturbation is not a sin after years of calling it haram? Mufti Abu Layth says these scholars owe an apology to the Muslims they guilt-tripped for decades, since Ibn Hazm's and the Hanbali view were known to them all along and nothing new has come to light. He attributes the reversal to imams saying what the public expects until they feel they can say otherwise. LessonYasir QadhiZakir NaikIbn HazmHanbali school machine6 min 02 s6:38on YouTube
11 Dec 2020video Did Zakir Naik say masturbation is not haram? Zakir Naik has said masturbation is not haram but only discouraged. Mufti Abu Layth says those who preached it as haram for decades owe people an admission and an apology, and ridicules the view that only one's own hand makes it haram.

26 Jun 2020MindTrap with Mufti Abu Layth Is seeing the number 19 everywhere a sign or a superstition?

9 Apr 2018The Voice of Reason in Islam Was Zakir Naik right to dismiss evolution as 'just a theory'? No: Mufti Abu Layth says Naik's mocking reply to an ex-Muslim did Islam a disservice, and that in science a theory can be an established fact, as with gravity, not merely a hypothesis.
