25 Oct 2021video Did Muslims learn how to pray from hadith books? No: the practice of Islam reached us through the living tradition, taught from parent to child, not through hadith collections compiled two centuries later. Quranists are not one group, and many only doubt the accuracy of hadith. Lessonposition checkedQuranist (Quran-only)SunniSufiSalafi machine2 min 37 s4:30on YouTube
27 Apr 2021video Does today's Hanafi madhhab reflect Imam Abu Hanifa? Not in spirit: Mufti Abu Layth calls later Hanafi rulings fossilised and pedantic, behind the sectarian attacks on Shaykh Aslam, and praises Shaykh Atabek as a fresh voice.

13 Apr 2021Monday Nights with Mufti Abu Layth Will traditional religious institutions survive if they do not adapt? Mufti Abu Layth predicts that institutions refusing to adapt, such as many Deobandi madrasas, will fossilise, while Barelvis who modernised their style stay approachable.

6 Apr 2021Monday Nights with Mufti Abu Layth Can I carry a child while I pray? Mufti Abu Layth says one may carry a child while praying and that Hanafi rulings such as the three-movement rule, or that laughing or reading something breaks the prayer, are made up. He sees the campaign against the preacher who showed this as sectarian jealousy. Lessonposition checkedHanafi schoolAbu HanifaAbu YusufIbn Abidin [?] machine12 min 45 s23:17on YouTube
9 Feb 2021Monday Nights with Mufti Abu Layth Why does Birmingham have so many different Muslim sects? Mufti Abu Layth says Birmingham's many strong sects cancel each other out, which he thinks is a good thing compared with towns one sect dominates.

9 Feb 2021Monday Nights with Mufti Abu Layth What was Mufti Abu Layth's madrasa in Pakistan like? Mufti Abu Layth says his madrasa's head was not hot-headed, and that Barelvi radicalism is recent while militancy has long existed in parts of the Deobandi world.

11 Dec 2020MindTrap with Mufti Abu Layth Does traditional orthodoxy lead to extremism? The guest says today's orthodoxy promotes reactionary conservatism that can mutate into groups like the Taliban and ISIS, and proposes reviving the philosophers, Mu'tazila and modernists; Mufti Abu Layth agrees some non-violent groups create a springboard for extremism.

20 Oct 2020video Why do preachers attack views in public that they tolerate in private? Most preachers are controlled by the crowd that follows them: the same figures who are friendly off camera attack Mufti Abu Layth on camera because their followers expect it. Al-Farabri likewise took an opportunity that brought fame, which does not oblige others to be blind. Discussionguest speechMuhammad ibn Yusuf al-FarabriSalafiBarelvi machine3 min 56 s6:37on YouTube
20 Oct 2020video Why do scholars avoid showing unity across Barelvi, Deobandi and Salafi lines? Scholars from different sects who met privately refused even a group photo, saying their followers were not mature enough to see it. Mufti Abu Layth says this shows preachers feeding their followers' expectations out of fear of being disowned. Discussionguest speechBarelviDeobandiSalafi machine2 min 34 s10:33on YouTube
12 Oct 2020video Is the preacher Muhammad ibn Munir actually a qualified mufti? Mufti Abu Layth says Mufti Munir turned out not to be a certified mufti, the title being a nickname, but seems a cool, funny and charismatic person he would like to host.

24 Aug 2020Monday Nights with Mufti Abu Layth Is the hadith that Aisha was married at six authentic? Mufti Abu Layth holds the hadith on Aisha's young age to be fabricated, since every transmitter is Iraqi, and says sectarian scholars defend it out of loyalty to their teachers.

19 Apr 2020MindTrap with Mufti Abu Layth Is a marriage between a Muslim and a non-Muslim valid? Mufti Abu Layth says he holds that a nikah between a Muslim and a non-Muslim would be valid, especially for converts whose spouses remain non-Muslim; both say quoting recorded minority views gets them accused of opening Pandora's box.

19 Apr 2020MindTrap with Mufti Abu Layth Does Islam teach us to feel guilty? Mufti Abu Layth says guilt-tripping is not an Islamic concept but one taken from the Judeo-Christian tradition, and the guest says forbidding evil applies only to what the texts clearly prohibit.

19 Apr 2020MindTrap with Mufti Abu Layth How should someone approach studying Islam with an open mind?

21 Aug 2019BukhariGate: Issues with Sahih al-Bukhari How did Shaykh al-Yaqoubi become so influential in the UK? After his earlier UK hosts parted with him, al-Yaqoubi found a devoted following in the Barelvi community of the Midlands and the north, learnt to avoid praising Deobandi scholars, and rose to prominence, wealth and power on its back.

28 Feb 2018Responding to Refutations Is it fair to say Mufti Abu Layth has no knowledge of the Maliki school? Mufti Abu Layth challenges his critic to a discussion on the Maliki school and says disagreement with his interpretation is fair, but calling him ignorant of the school is misleading.

15 Feb 2018From the Mind of a Mufti Is it worth studying at a madrasa? The madrasa is an excellent place if you bring critical thinking to it, and dogmatising if you do not; studying with several denominations, as he did, helps you see the good and the bad in each.
