9 May 2021video Did scholars let slave women uncover more than free women? Mufti Abu Layth says the scholars dropped their concern for modesty when it came to slave women, and calls the claim that nobody would desire them nonsense. He thinks slave women probably wore working clothes, with arms and lower legs uncovered, rather than walking about topless.

2 Mar 2021Monday Nights with Mufti Abu Layth Is the hadith about a woman breastfeeding the adult Salim authentic? Mufti Abu Layth calls the report of the adult Salim being suckled fabricated and mocks al-Albani's fatwa permitting it directly, welcoming Mohammed Hijab's attack on it as a sign he is outgrowing Salafism.

27 Oct 2020Monday Nights with Mufti Abu Layth Which civil war did early Muslims mean by 'the fitnah'? Mufti Abu Layth says it is often unclear which civil war early scholars meant by 'the fitnah', as several upheavals were each called the great one.

19 Aug 2020Responding to Refutations What did the leak of Yasir Qadhi's emails on the Quran's preservation lead to? The leak of Yasir Qadhi's emails set off a fitna in which people doubted or left Islam, and Yasir Qadhi's own explanation made it worse. Being clever and well-read does not make someone an academic.

19 Apr 2020MindTrap with Mufti Abu Layth Can women be stopped from going to the mosque because of fitnah? The guest says there is no evidence for keeping women from the mosque beyond fear of fitnah, since even harassment in the Prophet's time did not lead to a ban; Mufti Abu Layth cites Malik's report of men and women making wudu together.

1 Sep 2018BukhariGate: Issues with Sahih al-Bukhari Does Sahih al-Bukhari say the Prophet pointed to Aisha's house as the source of fitna? The Bukhari report in which the Prophet points to Aisha's house and says the fitna and the horn of Shaytan will rise there is, Mufti Abu Layth says, disrespectful to the Prophet and to Aisha, and Muslims should question what they pass off as authentic.

30 Aug 2018BukhariGate: Issues with Sahih al-Bukhari Replies to critics: Jonathan Brown, academic dialogue, going public, the Aisha debate The problems with Bukhari should be discussed openly, because hiding them is what makes people lose faith. He finds Jonathan Brown's response emotional rather than academic and will take up the debate on Aisha's age.

15 Apr 2018Debunking Myths On: Jinns, Magic, the Evil Eye, and Superstitions Does jinn possession exist in Islam? Not as popularly pictured, Mufti Abu Layth holds: the idea of demons taking over a body and causing illness and insanity does not survive the Quran, the authentic Sunnah and reason. He asks what the jinn would even gain by it and sets out to trace where the belief comes from. Lessonposition checkedjinnShaytanfitnahShaykh Akram Nadwi machine3 min 52 s0:00on YouTube
20 Sep 2017Debunking Myths On: Jinns, Magic, the Evil Eye, and Superstitions What do people mean when they say someone is possessed by a jinn? The popular picture is that a jinn or demon takes over a person's mind or body, causing illness, obsessive or insane behaviour and broken relationships, supposedly to create mischief. Mufti Abu Layth presents this as the urban myth he will test against the Quran, the authentic Sunnah and reason, after the guest's closing call to disbelieve the whole business.

9 May 2014video Is the face part of a woman's 'awrah in the Maliki school? One speaker argues that neither the Maliki nor the Hanafi school counts the face as 'awrah, so covering it is at most a precaution against fitnah.

9 May 2014video Must a young woman cover her face because of fitnah? The speakers disagree: one holds the books require covering where there is fitnah from young women, the other that such a rule would swallow the Prophet's own practice.

9 May 2014video Did Imam Malik allow a woman to show her face to her husband's friends? One speaker reads Imam Malik's fatwa allowing a woman to eat with her husband's friends as proof that the face is uncovered; the other cites the later split between young and older women.
