2 Sep 2020video Does mushkil mean ambiguous or problematic? Both sides have a point: mushkil was used technically for texts needing reconciliation and for the indeterminable, while Yasir Qadhi most likely meant it simply as 'problematic'.

2 Aug 2019From the Mind of a Mufti How did classical scholars treat intersex people (khuntha) and their right to marry? Classical scholars ruled that a khuntha, an intersex person, can neither marry nor be married, which Mufti Abu Layth calls cruel, absurd and a failure of scholarship to give a truly Islamic answer.

2 Aug 2019From the Mind of a Mufti What did Ibn al-Arabi write about a classmate who was both bearded and breasted? Qadi Abu Bakr ibn al-Arabi recorded a classmate with a beard and breasts who came to al-Ghazali's lessons with two servant girls and whose nature puzzled him for years. Mufti Abu Layth reads this as an example of people in the past finding outlets with servants and slaves.
