14 Mar 2021video Is separating hadith from the Sunnah a Hanafi and Maliki principle, and what does Mufti Abu Layth say about Salafi creed? Distinguishing hadith from the Sunnah is the usul of the Hanafi and Maliki schools, not Abduh's invention, and Qadhi applies to Gog and Magog the very reasoning he condemns in others. Mufti Abu Layth adds that Salafi kalam rests on fabricated chains, such as companions debating whether the Quran is created, a debate that arose only around 190 to 210 AH.

3 Jul 2020MindTrap with Mufti Abu Layth Why do so many Muslims think God speaks Arabic if their scholars said otherwise? Mufti Abu Layth says scholars' habit of not discussing this before ordinary people helped the public believe something different from their own scholars; the guest describes the popular Hanbali view that even the Mushaf is uncreated.

20 Oct 2018Responding to Refutations What did Yasir Qadhi write in the leaked emails about the Quran's preservation and the theological schools? In emails leaked by Dawah Man, Qadhi wrote that the letter-for-letter account of the Quran's preservation cannot stand and proposed discarding the theological schools to rethink kalam from scratch. Mufti Abu Layth reads this as a radical reinterpretation from the man now condemning them. Lessonquoted view, not his positionYasir QadhiDawah MankalamAsh'ari machine3 min 59 s24:51on YouTube
20 Sep 2017Debunking Myths On: Jinns, Magic, the Evil Eye, and Superstitions Why did Muslim scholars of the past accept the idea of jinn possession? Scholars of the past were the only learned people and were asked to explain everything, from the divisibility of atoms to where the intellect sits, so they explained strange behaviour with the best knowledge they had. That is the backdrop to the confusion over possession, not a proof of it. Lessonposition checkedulamaaql (intellect)Abu Bakr al-Baqillani [?]Abu Hanifa machine5 min 14 s53:21on YouTube
11 Jan 2017Mothers of the Believers: The Wives of the Blessed Prophet ﷺ Why is the report that Aisha was six and nine so much better known than the others? The six-and-nine report became prominent as a by-product of hadith absolutism and the later sanctification of Bukhari and Muslim. Ordinary Muslims historically knew only that Aisha was young.
