13 Feb 2023video LatestThe birth of orthodoxy: a nameless main body and the hadith project Orthodoxy means belief deemed correct by those with power. For two centuries the main body of Muslims had no name and was marked out by involvement in hadith. Lessonposition checkedAhl al-SunnahShiaKhawarijSunnah machine5 min 46 s0:00on YouTube
6 Oct 2021Malik Resources Is there a sahih hadith on where to put my hands in salah? There is no sahih hadith fixing where the hands go in salah; sadl, praying with the hands at the sides, is a sunnah of the school of Madinah without a hadith. Not every hadith is sunnah and not every sunnah was recorded in a hadith. Lessonposition checkeddistinction between sunnah and hadithImam MalikAbu HanifaHanafi school machine9 min 51 s0:00on YouTube
19 Apr 2021video Why do Mufti Abu Layth's critics defend Bukhari reports that demean the Prophet? Critics who defend Bukhari reports Mufti Abu Layth regards as insulting to the Prophet, such as marrying a child, forcing Safiyya, forgetting the Quran or being made impotent by magic, cannot claim to love the Prophet. Mariya al-Qibtiyya was a wife, not a concubine, and the critics' real concern is a fantasy caliphate and power.

16 Mar 2021video LatestWho are the Ibadis and what do you think of Ibadism? The Ibadis are an early, less extreme offshoot of the Khawarij who survive today in Oman and, as a small minority, became known for coexistence. Their independence from Sunnis and Shia helps corroborate early history, such as the place of Makkah.

2 Mar 2021Monday Nights with Mufti Abu Layth LatestWas Ali born inside the Kaaba? It may have happened but is uncertain, and most likely means the homes of Banu Hashim attached to the Kaaba rather than the cube itself; Ali's greatness does not depend on it.

22 Feb 2021video Abdul Rahman Hassan's clip: the first Khariji, protest, and never criticising rulers Mufti Abu Layth plays and mocks a clip in which Abdul Rahman Hassan presents protest against rulers as the mentality of the first Khariji, reading it as a defence of the Saudi rulers.

22 Feb 2021video Did the Prophet say he would kill the lineage of the first Khariji? Mufti Abu Layth says the speaker, carried away defending the Saudi rulers, attributed to the Prophet words he did not say: in the hadith the Prophet stopped Umar from killing the man. Respect for the Prophet comes before kings.

16 Feb 2021Monday Nights with Mufti Abu Layth Did the Prophet say he would kill the first Khariji's descendants? Mufti Abu Layth says the Prophet never said 'I will kill his lineage'; in the Bukhari report he stopped Umar from killing the man, so the clip misrepresents the Prophet to defend rulers.

16 Feb 2021Monday Nights with Mufti Abu Layth Who are the Ibadis and what does the Mufti think of them? Mufti Abu Layth says the Ibadis, an early and now peaceful offshoot of the Khawarij based in Oman, give a third tradition by which to cross-check claims, such as the Petra thesis.

25 Jul 2019Ponderings on the Holy Quran Who transmitted the hadith 'whoever changes his religion, kill him', and does the Quran punish apostasy? Mufti Abu Layth says the Quran is ambivalent about those who leave Islam and that the call to kill apostates is nonsense; the report 'whoever changes his religion, kill him' in Bukhari rests solely on Ikrima, a Khariji whom Imam Malik and Ibn Umar distrusted. He introduces Abdullah Sameer's post as the subject he will answer. Lessonposition checkedAbdullah SameerKhawarijISISIkrima machine5 min 07 s1:18on YouTube
24 Jul 2019Ponderings on the Holy Quran Does the Quran say there are three or five daily prayers? The Quran does not spell out the number of prayers, but Sunnis, Shia and Ibadis all hold there are five, which Mufti Abu Layth takes as proof of an early living tradition that preceded the hadith books. The Shia combine the five rather than reducing them to three. Question from live chatposition checkedsalahproto-Sunnah (the early living tradition)ShiaKhawarij machine3 min 21 s0:01on YouTube
24 Jul 2019Quick Fiqh! Can reports from Shia sources about Hasan and Husayn be trusted? Mufti Abu Layth accepts the reports as factual, saying the Shia had no reason to invent earrings for their own Imams, and calls it hypocrisy that Sunnis accept Imran ibn Hittan, a Khariji who praised Ali's killer, as a narrator in Sahih al-Bukhari while rejecting anything from Imam Jafar al-Sadiq.

19 Jul 2019From the Mind of a Mufti Was the first qibla really Petra, as Dan Gibson claims? Mufti Abu Layth is not convinced that the first qibla was Petra: the statistical argument is a fallacy and Sunnis, Shia and Khawarij would never all have agreed on the Ka'bah. He still finds revisionist research compelling on some other matters and says Muslims should engage with it.

20 Dec 2018From the Mind of a Mufti Does Islam say homosexuals should be thrown off buildings or executed? There is no sahih hadith in which the Prophet spoke about homosexuals, the reports of Ali ordering executions are not authentic in Mufti Abu Layth's view, and the early jurists disagreed, with the Hanafis holding it is not a hadd offence. The claim of a consensus that homosexual acts deserve death is false.

30 Aug 2018BukhariGate: Issues with Sahih al-Bukhari The first problem: Bukhari's semi-divine status above the Quran in practice Sahih al-Bukhari has been given a semi-divine status that in practice places it on par with or above the Quran, which he rejects outright. The Quran always takes precedence, and Bukhari is a book like the other hadith collections.

30 Aug 2018BukhariGate: Issues with Sahih al-Bukhari Imam Bukhari's own practice: transmission by meaning, hidden names, a Khariji narrator Imam Bukhari set a gold standard but did not always apply it: he transmitted by meaning, hid the names of problematic teachers and narrated from a Khariji who praised Ali's killer. Mufti Abu Layth's quarrel is not with Bukhari himself but with how the book is treated.

10 May 2018Ponderings on the Holy Quran Is Ikrima, the narrator of the apostasy hadith, reliable? The main chains of 'whoever changes his religion, kill him' run through Ikrima, whom he describes as a Khariji, and whom Imam Malik and many early authorities rejected or called a liar.

10 May 2018Ponderings on the Holy Quran Is the chain of the apostasy hadith through Anas reliable? The alternative chain of the apostasy hadith through Anas is also weak: it includes a narrator with Mu'tazili tendencies and Qatada, who is known for tadlis, and the report clashes with reason, the Quran and the Prophet's life.

9 Apr 2018The Voice of Reason in Islam Why did Muslims become hostile to reason? Mufti Abu Layth traces Muslim hostility to reason to the centuries-long sectarian conflict with the Mu'tazila, in which the mainstream answered the Mu'tazila's use of reason by disparaging reason itself and defending absurd narrations.

15 Mar 2018Responding to Refutations Is someone who denies a line of al-Tahawi's creed a kafir? No: Mufti Abu Layth says this makes al-Tahawi rather than the Quran the standard, that Elmasry himself departs from al-Tahawi on several points, that Ash'ari creed does not make takfir of the people of the qibla, and that al-Tahawi wrote 250 years after the Prophet and is not an Ash'ari authority.

9 Sep 2017From the Mind of a Mufti If Muslims want a khilafah, why not first establish Islam in the countries they already have? Mufti Abu Layth says those pushing a purely politicised Islam are, in his understanding, near the modern Khawarij and use the same evidences as ISIS. The guest says Muslims already have fifty countries, that Pakistanis who sought Nizam-e-Mustafa now want to leave, that khilafah groups cannot even unite, and that Allah does not give what people do not deserve.
