6 Apr 2021Monday Nights with Mufti Abu Layth Are the signs of the Hour part of Islamic creed? One can be a Maliki and doubt these reports: Ibn Ashur, Shaykh al-Islam of the Malikis, classed the signs of the Hour as information rather than creed, and Imam Ahmad said the malahim reports have no foundation.

14 Mar 2021video Does Yasir Qadhi hold that even positions in aqidah lie within a spectrum of opinion? In the clip Qadhi says that even in aqidah positions lie within a spectrum, that absorbing one's teachers' view does not make it true, and that no scholar's word is evidence in itself. Mufti Abu Layth says this sits ill with Qadhi declaring him a heretic for departing from the majority on the return of Jesus.

2 Mar 2021Monday Nights with Mufti Abu Layth Can positions in aqidah fall within a range of scholarly opinion?

22 Feb 2021video An invitation to MindTrap on aqidah and Bukhari, and an open challenge to Salafi imams Mufti Abu Layth invites Abdul Rahman Hassan, and any Salafi imam, to discuss aqidah or Bukhari on MindTrap, challenging them to prove the Salafi creed from the Quran and Sunnah alone.

17 Nov 2020video Would the Mufti debate a Salafi scholar on aqidah? Yes: he challenges any learned Salafi to prove their aqidah obligatory from the Quran alone. He says he is sure none can do it clearly. Question from live chatposition checkedSalafiaqidahIbn Taymiyya machine2 min 46 s0:00on YouTube
3 Jul 2020MindTrap with Mufti Abu Layth Do Salafis believe God has a body? Mufti Abu Layth says Hanbalis and modern Salafis in effect believe God has body parts and so project a human image onto God; the guest notes philosophers and Isma'ilis objected that attributes give God parts.

21 Aug 2019From the Mind of a Mufti Did the Prophet teach a formal creed of what Muslims must believe? The Prophet taught faith, not a creed: beyond a handful of beliefs no hadith prescribes what to believe, and for 150 years the salaf up to Imam Malik wrote down no dogma. Policing people's ideas is the antithesis of Islam, so think for yourself. Lessonposition checkedImam Malikaqidahsalafdeen machine2 min 36 s15:41on YouTube
24 Dec 2018From the Mind of a Mufti Did the Prophet teach a creed about God's attributes, and when did the Muslim creed emerge? The Prophet taught faith, not a formal creed; the Muslim creed emerged two to three hundred years later, and its doctrine of attributes 'neither God nor other than God' is, in Mufti Abu Layth's view, irrational and unfounded in the Quran and Sunnah. Ordinary Muslims do not know this material, which is why Wood's objections did not land. Lessonposition checkedMohammed HijabDavid Woodaqidahiman machine3 min 44 s17:38on YouTube
9 Apr 2018The Voice of Reason in Islam Should loyalty to Sahih al-Bukhari outweigh how a report presents the Prophet? No: Mufti Abu Layth says loyalty belongs to the Prophet, not to al-Bukhari, and cites the age-of-Aisha report, which he holds untrue and disrespectful since Arabs of the time did not marry girls that young, as an example of what must be re-examined.

1 Apr 2018Islamic Eschatology On what principles can a hadith in Bukhari be rejected, and may ordinary Muslims do so? A valid chain is not enough: a report must not go against reason, the established Quran and Sunnah, or the principles of Islam, and the Hanafi-Maturidi majority require mutawatir hadith for creed. Lay people may suspend a hadith that troubles them while seeking guidance; the gecko hadith is given as a report Mufti Abu Layth considers made up.

15 Mar 2018Responding to Refutations What are the main problems with the hadith about Jesus returning? Mufti Abu Layth says the return narrations conflict with the Quran, the Sunnah and Islam's principles, rest on solitary reports that cannot found aqidah, and contradict one another, from Constantinople to who the Dajjal is. He notes that the hadith of Jibril on faith and the Prophet's answers on the signs of the hour do not mention Jesus.

13 Mar 2018Islamic Eschatology A Christian belief that crept into Islam; creed cannot be blind-followed Mufti Abu Layth holds that Jesus's return is a Christian belief that entered Islam and contradicts the Quran and its principles. Creed cannot be blind-followed, so he will not be intimidated into it.

14 Jan 2018Responding to Refutations What did the Green Lane Masjid khutbah say about Mufti Abu Layth? The khutbah called him a jahil who cannot be a mufti, said he mocks the deen, the people of tawhid and hadith, and blamed his followers' parents for not teaching them the correct aqidah. Mufti Abu Layth reports each charge with mockery and notes a well-funded Salafi organisation targeting one man on Facebook.

14 Jan 2018Responding to Refutations Can the detailed aqidah taught today be proven from the Quran and Sunnah alone? Mufti Abu Layth says aqidah as taught today was put together by Muslims over the ages, while the Prophet taught only simple belief. He challenges the maulana to a face-to-face meeting to prove his aqidah exclusively from the Quran and Sunnah, guaranteeing it cannot be done.
