15 Mar 2021video Is Mufti Abu Layth a Mu'tazili? Mufti Abu Layth is not a Mu'tazili because he is Sunni. The Mu'tazila were an early faction defined by their view of sinners, and calling them 'super rationalists' is later Sunni propaganda.

16 Feb 2021Monday Nights with Mufti Abu Layth Why isn't the Mufti a Mu'tazili? Mufti Abu Layth says he is simply Sunni; sects are defined by core doctrines, the Shia by the sacred bloodline's right to rule, and mut'ah was pinned on them as propaganda.

6 Dec 2020video Why don't Sunni imams like Malik and Abu Hanifa transmit from Imam Jafar al-Sadiq? Mufti Abu Layth's theory is that the early imams of the Ahl al-Bayt were for the most part as the Shia describe them, so Malik and Abu Hanifa, though respectful of them, did not transmit from them because it would have caused a political storm. He adds that this does not make the Shia theological claims more authentic.

3 Jul 2020MindTrap with Mufti Abu Layth Do Salafis believe God has a body?
