19 Aug 2020video Can non-Muslims be saved according to Sunni scholars? Mufti Abu Layth says broad views on salvation for non-Muslims and on hell, while not necessarily right, are all part of the Sunni tradition.

26 Jun 2020MindTrap with Mufti Abu Layth Can Muslims do ijtihad from the Quran alone? Mufti Abu Layth agrees with the guest that making Islam Bukhari-centric is a problem, as his BukhariGate series argues. The guest says the Quran declares itself easy to understand and that whoever thinks it difficult or rejects its clear verses loses access to it.

19 Jun 2020MindTrap with Mufti Abu Layth Do the early manuscripts with different words undermine the preservation of the Quran? The guest says such manuscripts were bound to exist once people wrote down the readings, and that a reading needs correct Arabic and a chain to the Prophet, with ijtihad only in preference. Mufti Abu Layth adds that the harshest critics of the readings were Muslim grammarians of Basra such as al-Mazini, until later grammarians like Ibn Malik embraced them.

1 Apr 2018Islamic Eschatology Does it matter that the second coming of Jesus is the majority opinion and Mufti Abu Layth's view a minority one? If every detail of the second-coming hadith is a metaphor, Mufti Abu Layth asks why Jesus himself is not. Majority and minority opinions are decided later by power and politics, as Abu Hanifa's case shows: condemned as a deviant by his contemporaries, his school spread when Abu Yusuf appointed only Hanafi judges.

5 Mar 2018On Love, Romance, and Relationships Is zina today the same issue it was in the past? Much of the inherited social theory on relationships and marriage no longer matches today's reality, and Mufti Abu Layth calls for ulama to re-examine the context with fresh ijtihad. He describes marriage today as costly and idealised, with divorce and polygamy stigmatised. Question from live chatposition checkedzinaijtihadulama machine5 min 10 s1:18on YouTube
6 Sep 2017From the Mind of a Mufti Should scholars give fatwas based on minority opinions if it makes life easier? In this clip Shaykh Akram Nadwi says scholars may give fatwas on easier minority opinions in minor matters of fiqh, since ease has always guided the jurists. Mufti Abu Layth speaks only at the end.
