21 Nov 2020video Do any authentic hadith prove jinn possession? The hadith cited for possession prove nothing: the Bukhari report that Satan runs in the veins concerns suspicion, the Bukhari report of the epileptic woman treats epilepsy as an illness to be borne patiently, and the remaining reports are weak. Lessonposition checkedreport: satan flows through the son of adam like bloodreport: the woman with epilepsy who asked the prophet to pray for her and chose patience so long as she would not be uncoveredreport: the prophet struck the chest of a man and blew on him to drive out the devilreport: yala ibn murra and the child from whom the prophet drove out a demon on a journey machine9 min 12 s34:00on YouTube
18 Sep 2019From the Mind of a Mufti Is the hadith that singing breeds hypocrisy in the heart authentic? The hadith that singing breeds hypocrisy in the heart is weak in every one of its chains, which run from Ibn Mas'ud to the Prophet in some versions and stop at Ibn Mas'ud in others. Mufti Abu Layth restates that nothing categorically proves music haram and that lyrics do not make it so.

15 Apr 2018Debunking Myths On: Jinns, Magic, the Evil Eye, and Superstitions Are there authentic hadith showing the Prophet casting out jinn? No report of the Prophet expelling a jinn is free of criticism: the Ya'la ibn Murra and Umm Aban reports are weak, and the sound version of Uthman ibn Abi al-As's story in Sahih Muslim mentions no jinn at all, as al-Nawawi points out. Mufti Abu Layth asks why a Prophet sent as a mercy would never have taught about so common a danger.

21 Feb 2018Responding to Refutations Did Ibn Ma'in consider Isma'il ibn Abi Uways and his family reliable? Mufti Abu Layth says that although one transmitted opinion of Ibn Ma'in accepts him, Ibn Ma'in is also transmitted as counting the household of Abu Uways among the weak. He adds that Abu al-Zubayr was weakened by several critics, so none of the chains the critics brought is conclusive.

2 Jan 2018Responding to Refutations Music: the hadith on singing and hypocrisy, and scholars who permitted music Nothing proven categorically makes music haram, and lyrics by themselves do not make listening haram. The hadith the critic cited on singing and hypocrisy is weak in every chain, and he lists scholars who said no sahih report forbids music.

2 Jan 2018Responding to Refutations Anal intercourse: the difference of opinion and the chains of the critic's hadith On anal intercourse Mufti Abu Layth says only that there is a difference of opinion: the majority held it haram, many Malikis did not and disliked it for hygiene. He argues that every hadith the critic quoted against it has a weak or disconnected chain.

20 Sep 2017Debunking Myths On: Jinns, Magic, the Evil Eye, and Superstitions Are there authentic hadith of the Prophet casting a jinn out of someone? None of the hadith cited for possession is free of criticism; the only sound version, Uthman ibn Abi al-As in Sahih Muslim, mentions no jinn, as al-Nawawi notes, and the 'come out, enemy of Allah' reports are weak. The Prophet, a mercy to mankind, would not have left such a thing untaught.
