16 Feb 2021Monday Nights with Mufti Abu Layth Why isn't the Mufti a Mu'tazili? Mufti Abu Layth says he is simply Sunni; sects are defined by core doctrines, the Shia by the sacred bloodline's right to rule, and mut'ah was pinned on them as propaganda.

9 Apr 2018The Voice of Reason in Islam Does Ali's saying about wiping the socks prove that religion is not based on reason? No: Mufti Abu Layth says the 'if the deen were by opinion' wording has a weak chain and is absent from several versions, that Malik's Muwatta records wiping both sides of the khuff, and that rituals are practices rather than claims against reason.

1 Apr 2018Islamic Eschatology If I doubt one hadith in Bukhari, will I end up doubting the Quran? The warning that doubting one hadith leads to doubting the Quran is scare-mongering: Bukhari and Muslim are not the word of God, some of their reports must be rejected, and the deen does not fall apart from questioning. Mufti Abu Layth says Jesus is not going to come but treats the matter as a difference of opinion, not a sectarian one.

6 Sep 2017From the Mind of a Mufti Should scholars give fatwas based on minority opinions if it makes life easier? In this clip Shaykh Akram Nadwi says scholars may give fatwas on easier minority opinions in minor matters of fiqh, since ease has always guided the jurists. Mufti Abu Layth speaks only at the end.
