10 Dec 2022video LatestHow did Abu Hanifa solve the case of two brides sent to the wrong grooms? Where Sufyan al-Thawri advised divorces, a waiting period and remarriage to the original spouses, Abu Hanifa had each man marry on the spot the woman he had spent the night with, sparing a waiting period and jealousy.

7 Apr 2020video Does the Mufti teach disrespect for the Prophet? No: he says he has repeatedly defended the Prophet, denying that he married a child and rejecting narrations he finds insulting. Those accusing him took none of these stances.

25 Jul 2019Ponderings on the Holy Quran What is the iddah after divorce and why does the Quran require it? The iddah is a waiting period of one to three cycles after a divorce which establishes whether the woman is pregnant and prevents suspicion and conflict, and during it she keeps the right to stay in the home. Mufti Abu Layth reads this as the opening of the passage the objector quotes from.

25 Jul 2019Ponderings on the Holy Quran What does the Quran say about how a divorce should end and about a divorced woman's future? At the end of the iddah the couple must either reconcile or part with kindness before witnesses, and Mufti Abu Layth reads the promise that God makes a way out and provides from unexpected places as reassurance to the vulnerable party that she need not accept oppression for shelter. The objector, he says, skips all of this.

25 Jul 2019Ponderings on the Holy Quran What does Quran 65:4 say about the waiting period for women whose periods have stopped? Women who have despaired of menstruation wait three months, a rule Mufti Abu Layth reads as addressed to men who are unsure whether a woman has reached the menopause, so that pregnancy can be excluded; the pregnant wait until childbirth.

25 Jul 2019Ponderings on the Holy Quran Does 'those who have not menstruated' in Quran 65:4 refer to little girls? No: Mufti Abu Layth says the phrase refers to women whose cycles are absent through illness or irregularity, as Abu Hayyan, Ibn Ashur, al-Samarqandi, Abu al-Su'ud and Ibn Atiyya read it. Al-Tha'labi records that the verse was revealed about a man who divorced his wife during her menses.

25 Jul 2019Ponderings on the Holy Quran Does the word 'women' in Surah al-Talaq rule out children? Yes: the passage opens with nisa, women, a word never used of a six- or seven-year-old, just as boys are never called rijal, and the verses go on to envisage pregnancy, which nobody would expect of a child. Lessonposition checkedQuran 65:1 (when you divorce women, divorce them for their iddah; do not expel them from their homes)Quran 65:4 (those who have despaired of menstruation, if you are in doubt, their iddah is three months, and those who have not menstruated; the pregnant until they give birth)nisa (women)rijal (men) machine2 min 36 s24:43on YouTube
28 Feb 2018Responding to Refutations Did the Prophet marry Safiyya on the same night she was captured? No: Mufti Abu Layth says Safiyya was a Muslim when the Prophet married her and so had to observe a waiting period, which rules out a marriage on the night of her capture.

21 Feb 2018On the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ Could the Prophet have married Safiyya right after Khaybar? No: she was a widow and the Quran requires a waiting period of four months and ten days, so a marriage at Khaybar would contradict the Quran. The companions only assumed a marriage because they saw the Prophet veil her and took a victory meal for a wedding feast.

21 Feb 2018On the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ Where did Safiyya live when she first came to Madinah? She did not live with the Prophet but was lodged with Umm Sulaym and others, and the Prophet rebuked Aisha and others who called her 'that Jew'. The feast on the road was a victory meal, not a wedding, and she embraced Islam in the months that followed.
