10 Dec 2022video How did Abu Hanifa die, and what was he known for among people? Abu Hanifa was imprisoned by the Abbasids for supporting an uprising from the Prophet's family and died, perhaps poisoned, in prison; he was loved above all for his compassion and generosity.

22 Dec 2021video What do Sunni Muslims think of the twelve Shia imams? The Shia imams are generally respected in Sunni Islam but are not used as reference points; he suspects Ja'far al-Sadiq was closer to the Shia picture of him than Sunnis admit, as an assumption. Sunnis and Shia should agree to disagree and be fair to each other.

15 Mar 2021video What actually separates Sunnis and Shia, and is mut'ah really a Shia thing? The Sunni-Shia split is only about who has the right to rule, the Shia holding it stays in the Prophet's bloodline. Mut'ah and wiping the feet have nothing to do with being Shia; Sunnis used them as propaganda.

6 Dec 2020video Why don't Sunni imams like Malik and Abu Hanifa transmit from Imam Jafar al-Sadiq? Mufti Abu Layth's theory is that the early imams of the Ahl al-Bayt were for the most part as the Shia describe them, so Malik and Abu Hanifa, though respectful of them, did not transmit from them because it would have caused a political storm. He adds that this does not make the Shia theological claims more authentic.

6 Dec 2020video Did Imam Malik and Abu Hanifa study under Imam Jafar al-Sadiq, and what did they learn from him? Malik and Abu Hanifa kept Imam Jafar's company and attended his circles but transmitted nothing from him, which Mufti Abu Layth explains by their disagreement with teaching that largely reflected the Shia da'wah. He calls the claim that they took only 'spirituality' from him absurd. Question from live chatposition checkedImam Jafar al-SadiqImam MalikAbu HanifaAhl al-Bayt machine2 min 09 s6:37on YouTube
27 Oct 2020Monday Nights with Mufti Abu Layth Can a non-Muslim descendant of the Prophet claim sharif status?
