5 Jan 2021video Is the niqab required, and is it right to make women take it off? The face veil has no basis in the Quran and Sunnah, being the opinion of some later scholars. Forcing a woman to remove it is still wrong; one may only advise. Discussionposition checkedniqab (face veil)WahhabiHanafi schoolMaliki school machine6 min 31 s0:19on YouTube
5 Jan 2021video Why do some women feel they must wear the niqab? Mufti Abu Layth blames men rather than women: men convince women they need the niqab by making them fear hell, sometimes out of insecurity. He calls the extreme mindsets this produces worrying.

27 Oct 2020Monday Nights with Mufti Abu Layth Why do imams in the West wear 'Islamic' robes? Mufti Abu Layth says there was never an Islamic clothing; clerical dress came centuries later as a symbol of status that distances scholars from people.

19 Apr 2020MindTrap with Mufti Abu Layth Is a marriage between a Muslim and a non-Muslim valid? Mufti Abu Layth says he holds that a nikah between a Muslim and a non-Muslim would be valid, especially for converts whose spouses remain non-Muslim; both say quoting recorded minority views gets them accused of opening Pandora's box.

19 Apr 2020MindTrap with Mufti Abu Layth Is pornography today like the concubines of the past? The guest rejects likening pornography to concubinage or mut'ah, calling it instant gratification, and describes Salafi efforts to suppress permissive classical texts; Mufti Abu Layth says these are real questions that need open discussion.

8 Mar 2018Quick Fiqh! Do Muslim women have to wear the niqab? Mufti Abu Layth does not consider the niqab part of the religion: it is a cultural measure, sensible only where a woman's safety requires it, and in the West he thinks it should not be worn. The screen rules for the Prophet's wives were specific to them.

9 May 2014video Is the face part of a woman's 'awrah in the Maliki school? One speaker argues that neither the Maliki nor the Hanafi school counts the face as 'awrah, so covering it is at most a precaution against fitnah.
