28 Oct 2020video Did God really command Ibrahim to sacrifice his son? No: in Mufti Abu Layth's reading the command did not come from God, and the Quran in Surah al-Saffat only reports that Ibrahim saw a dream and that his son urged him to act on it. The notion of sacrificing a son is traced to the culture of the ancient Near East.

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
