16 Feb 2021Monday Nights with Mufti Abu Layth Why didn't the Prophet explain every verse of the Quran himself? Leaving the Quran undefined was a blessing, he says: a fixed tafsir would have restricted it, while leaving it to each age's understanding gives it timelessness.

16 Feb 2021Monday Nights with Mufti Abu Layth What does the Mufti think of liberal Islam? Liberal and conservative are political labels about authority, he says, and they do not truly fit Islam, which never had a church-like hierarchy.

16 Feb 2021Monday Nights with Mufti Abu Layth Is playing chess haram? No, chess is not haram, he says; Imam Malik discouraged it as a waste of life but never called it haram.

24 Jul 2019Quick Fiqh! Did men and boys wear earrings in the time of the Prophet and the early Muslims? In the Prophet's society and among the Salaf boys commonly wore earrings, and many considered it sunnah for a boy. Later Sunni clergy prohibited the practice, perhaps influenced by the Christian church, while the Shia kept it alive.

8 Jul 2019Ponderings on the Holy Quran Is the story of Hajar running seven times between Safa and Marwa true? Mufti Abu Layth thinks the story of Hajar running seven times between Safa and Marwa was most likely added later to give the ritual an Abrahamic link, though he believes the Zamzam story is true. The Quran mentions Safa and Marwa only as a remembrance of God, without linking them to Hajar or Abraham.

8 Jul 2019Ponderings on the Holy Quran Did the Prophet restore the original rituals of Ibrahim at the Kaaba? No: nothing was in Makkah when Ibrahim arrived, and although he and Ismail built the house of remembrance, Safa and Marwa are never linked to him. The Quran presents them only as symbols for remembering God, so there is no point guessing at older origins.

4 May 2018Clarifying False Hadith Which Insult Islam Is the hadith about women wearing perfume being zaniya authentic? Mufti Abu Layth says the report is not authentic: every version comes through one weak narrator, Thabit ibn Umara, from the obscure Ghunaym ibn Qays, and some early authorities stopped it at the companion.

12 Mar 2014video Do I have to stick to one madhhab, or can I question its positions? Develop within one school, since each rests on its own principles, like choosing one door into a building; once knowledgeable you may evaluate its positions. Mufti Abu Layth adds that some who resist this seem to struggle with submitting to authority.
