9 Oct 2020video Can a hadith be rejected because it goes against reason? Mufti Abu Layth says reason is what immediately tells you whether a hadith is sahih, and that an early classical text on hadith says so. Lessonposition checkedaql (reason)judging a report by its content (matn)sahihQuran 2:256 (no compulsion in religion) machine4 min 12 s0:01on YouTube
22 Apr 2020MindTrap with Mufti Abu Layth Can a hadith in Sahih al-Bukhari be questioned? Sahih means Bukhari and Muslim verified the chains, which says little about the content, since reliable narrators still err and insert explanations; only the few mutawatir reports, mostly practices like the number of units in prayer, are beyond doubt. Mufti Abu Layth says he believes all the hadith on Aisha's age are weak.

18 Sep 2019From the Mind of a Mufti Is listening to music haram? In Mufti Abu Layth's understanding music is not forbidden, because no text is at once conclusive, sahih and explicit: the Bukhari hadith speaks of entertainment, not music, and the texts naming music are not authentic. People find this hard to accept because they come to religion expecting it to oppose entertainment and desire.

2 Aug 2019From the Mind of a Mufti Why does Islam forbid homosexual activity? Islam did not address homosexuality directly; it outlawed all sex outside marriage to build strong family units, and homosexuality was prohibited as a by-product. There are no clear sahih hadith on it, and scholars differed on related questions such as anal sex.

3 Aug 2018Responding to Refutations Is there an authentic hadith that a wife may never refuse her husband sex? Mufti Abu Layth says no version of the report that a wife cannot refuse her husband is free of criticism, since its chains run through al-A'mash and Qatada and carry hidden defects. He challenges his critics to produce one that cannot be faulted.

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. Lessonposition checkedreport: ayyuma imraatin istatarat fa marrat ala qawmin li yajidu rihaha fa hiya zaniyareport: antum al-yawm ala iddati ashabi talut (Abu Musa, via Ghunaym, in Ahmad)Abu Musa al-Ash'ariGhunaym ibn Qays machine7 min 53 s2:39on YouTube
1 Apr 2018Islamic Eschatology Is the second coming of Jesus proven by the Quran or by the fact that most Muslims believe it? The second coming cannot be proven from the Quran, as Hassan Ali concedes, and the fact that most Muslims believe it only reflects what they were taught as children, as with folk tales of Ya'juj and Ma'juj. The hadith on it have chain problems and, more importantly, details that clash with Islam.

2 Jan 2018Responding to Refutations Music: the hadith on singing and hypocrisy, and scholars who permitted music Nothing proven categorically makes music haram, and lyrics by themselves do not make listening haram. The hadith the critic cited on singing and hypocrisy is weak in every chain, and he lists scholars who said no sahih report forbids music. Lessonposition checkedAbu Ibraheem Husnaynreport: singing grows hypocrisy in the heart as water grows vegetation (unresolved)Ibn Mas'ud [?]al-Shawkani machine10 min 26 s14:24on YouTube
20 Sep 2017Debunking Myths On: Jinns, Magic, the Evil Eye, and Superstitions Are there authentic hadith of the Prophet casting a jinn out of someone? None of the hadith cited for possession is free of criticism; the only sound version, Uthman ibn Abi al-As in Sahih Muslim, mentions no jinn, as al-Nawawi notes, and the 'come out, enemy of Allah' reports are weak. The Prophet, a mercy to mankind, would not have left such a thing untaught. Lessonposition checkedreport: yala ibn murra said i saw three things from the prophet including that he said to a boy come out enemy of allah i am the messenger of allahYa'la ibn Murrareport: uthman ibn abi al-as said i struggle with the quran and the prophet struck his chest and said go and lead your peopleUthman ibn Abi al-As al-Thaqafi machine6 min 31 s1:02:31on YouTube
