26 Jun 2020MindTrap with Mufti Abu Layth Does the Quran ban slavery, and what does 'what your right hand possesses' mean? The guest says the Quran abolishes slavery as the greatest crime, since owning a slave is to claim to be a rabb like Pharaoh, and that what the right hand possesses means contractual marriage. Mufti Abu Layth holds that slavery is abrogated through trajectory hermeneutics rather than by an explicit ban.

28 Apr 2020From the Mind of a Mufti Is slavery haram in Islam, and did Muslim scholars ban it before the UN? Slavery is categorically haram today, and Maliki scholars issued fatwas forbidding it long before the UN; Mufti Abu Layth explains this through trajectory hermeneutics. Concubines were female slaves, not wives. Lessonposition checkedma malakat aymanukum (what the right hand possesses)trajectory hermeneuticsharamfatwa machine2 min 37 s0:00on YouTube
28 Apr 2020From the Mind of a Mufti How could men in early Islam have sex with their female slaves? Sexual relations with female slaves were condoned because the society Islam was revealed in had a very different mindset: its slavery resembled servitude rather than transatlantic slavery, and it drew no line between a slave's labour and sexual utility, so the practice could not be changed at once.

22 Apr 2020MindTrap with Mufti Abu Layth What does the Quran mean by 'what your right hands possess', and did the Prophet have a concubine? The guest reads the Quran's 'right-hand possessions' as a category of wife who was not free, since 4:25 speaks of marrying slave girls, and thinks Mariya al-Qibtiyya may have been a wife misunderstood as a concubine. Mufti Abu Layth says Mariya was a wife, as he has taught, and that under trajectory hermeneutics slavery would have become haram.

19 Apr 2020MindTrap with Mufti Abu Layth Is pornography today like the concubines of the past?
