28 Oct 2020video Did the classical scholars ever question whether God would command Ibrahim to kill his son? Mufti Abu Layth says earlier scholars debated the side issues, such as rulings coming through dreams or abrogation before an act, but none asked whether God would want a father to kill his son. He satirises the discussions as all grammar and no elephant in the room. Lessonposition checkedIbrahimnaskh (abrogation)ru'ya (dream vision) machine2 min 36 s21:09on YouTube
26 Jun 2020MindTrap with Mufti Abu Layth Does the Quran abrogate its own verses? The guest denies abrogation, reading 2:106 as about miracles replaced over time, since ayah in the singular never means a verse. Mufti Abu Layth says he is not against abrogation in principle but that 2:106 does not prove it and that no verse was ever lifted from the Quran.

22 Apr 2020MindTrap with Mufti Abu Layth Can hudud punishments such as stoning or hand-cutting change with the times? Mufti Abu Layth holds that stoning was a pre-Quranic practice abrogated by the Quran and that the Sharia's punishments reflect their age, as Maliki scholars and the Ottomans applied. The guest agrees that the spirit of the law can require departing from its letter, as Umar did when he suspended hand-cutting in a famine.

10 May 2018Ponderings on the Holy Quran Does Islam punish someone for leaving the faith? Islam gives freedom of belief: the Quran says there is no compulsion in religion and leaves belief to choice, and neither the Quran nor the established Sunnah says an apostate must be killed.

11 Jan 2017Mothers of the Believers: The Wives of the Blessed Prophet ﷺ Can an ordinary Muslim reject a hadith that seems irrational? An ordinary Muslim should refer puzzling hadith to scholars rather than reject them, but may decline to act on a report that clearly clashes with Islam's universal teachings. Going through the hadith books one by one is not the duty of the unskilled.
