28 Aug 2020video Does Edip Yuksel believe in praying five times a day? Mufti Abu Layth thinks Edip Yuksel accepts the five prayers but not as the primary objective. Mufti calls rejecting all hadith the opposite extreme to hadith dogmatism, since all we know of early Islam comes through the living tradition.

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.

26 Jun 2020MindTrap with Mufti Abu Layth If the Quran abolished slavery, why is there no explicit verse saying so? The guest says rabb is used in the Quran only for God, so that owning a slave is shirk and la ilaha illa Allah is itself the abolition of slavery. Mufti Abu Layth notes that rabb has ordinary linguistic uses and that non-Muslims recorded Muslims as owning slaves.
