26 Apr 2021MindTrap with Mufti Abu Layth Can a Muslim work in the music industry and keep their faith? The guest says religion should be judged apart from the actions of its followers in any industry; Mufti Abu Layth says relatable poetry and music inspire people more than being told to go to the mosque.

13 Apr 2021Monday Nights with Mufti Abu Layth Will traditional religious institutions survive if they do not adapt? Mufti Abu Layth predicts that institutions refusing to adapt, such as many Deobandi madrasas, will fossilise, while Barelvis who modernised their style stay approachable.

11 Dec 2020MindTrap with Mufti Abu Layth Are madrasas failing their students? Mufti Abu Layth says the madrasa phenomenon is dysfunctional and dumbs students down though it supplies the raw materials; both say those who leave orthodox positions are ostracised, and the guest recommends a few years of traditional study combined with academic study.

4 Aug 2020Monday Nights with Mufti Abu Layth Should I give up my career plans to study full time at a madrasa? Mufti Abu Layth would maybe not advise leaving a career for a madrasa: it offers structure and companionship but dumbs students down.

4 Aug 2020Monday Nights with Mufti Abu Layth Can I learn Islam properly on my own alongside a degree? Mufti Abu Layth advises keeping the career and studying Islam on the side; those at a madrasa must keep their critical faculties alive themselves.

4 Aug 2020Monday Nights with Mufti Abu Layth How common is sexual abuse in madrasas? Mufti Abu Layth says abuse in madrasas is far more common outside the West and is often taken lightly; he would never send young boys to a madrasa in Pakistan.

4 Aug 2020Monday Nights with Mufti Abu Layth Don't madrasas expel students for sexual abuse? Mufti Abu Layth says madrasas now respond to abuse claims more because they fear the police and the press than from conviction.

19 Apr 2020MindTrap with Mufti Abu Layth Do religious scholars lose their independence when they depend on donations? The guest refuses to earn from religion because dependence on a group or donors forces scholars to say what their audience wants; Mufti Abu Layth says denominational dependency cripples independent thinking.

19 Apr 2020MindTrap with Mufti Abu Layth Did Abu Hanifa hold that there is no hadd punishment for sodomy? The guest says Abu Hanifa held there is no hadd for sodomy, that Salafis attack Hanafis for it, and that a Salafi mufti used the same view to shield one of their own scholars.

18 Sep 2019From the Mind of a Mufti If obscene lyrics make music haram, what about the classical Arabic poetry taught in madrasas? Classical Arabic poetry taught in every major madrasa, from Abu Nuwas to the Hamasa and Imru' al-Qais, is as full of violence, alcohol and sex as rap lyrics, so condemning rap on religious grounds is a double standard. Parents may set their own rules for their children without attributing them to God. Lessonposition checkedAbu Nuwasal-Hamasa of Abu TammamAbu TammamImru' al-Qais machine11 min 32 s36:43on YouTube
15 Feb 2018From the Mind of a Mufti Why don't most scholars say what Mufti Abu Layth says? Scholars who are articulate leaders able to meet the challenges of the time usually become so in spite of the madrasa system, which does not teach these skills or, in some places, critical thinking.

15 Feb 2018From the Mind of a Mufti Why do so many maulanas think the way they do? Many maulanas grow up mocked, alienated and insecure, are trained in material irrelevant to the real world, and are then made leaders young, and that past shapes their decisions. He says he is shedding light, not disparaging them. Lessonposition checkedmaulanamadrasaulama machine9 min 38 s5:38on YouTube
15 Feb 2018From the Mind of a Mufti Is it worth studying at a madrasa? The madrasa is an excellent place if you bring critical thinking to it, and dogmatising if you do not; studying with several denominations, as he did, helps you see the good and the bad in each.

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.
