13 Apr 2021Monday Nights with Mufti Abu Layth What did Ibn Rushd mean by the 'double truth' of religion and philosophy?

22 Sep 2020Monday Nights with Mufti Abu Layth Are Sharia rules brand new, or based on what people already did?

26 Jun 2020MindTrap with Mufti Abu Layth Does the guest think every hadith is fabricated? The guest says not every hadith is evil, but truth is mixed with falsehood and even genuine sayings cannot be a source of religion, since the Quran makes God the only source of law and limits the messenger's duty to delivery.

2 Aug 2019From the Mind of a Mufti How did classical scholars treat intersex people (khuntha) and their right to marry? Classical scholars ruled that a khuntha, an intersex person, can neither marry nor be married, which Mufti Abu Layth calls cruel, absurd and a failure of scholarship to give a truly Islamic answer.

22 Mar 2019The School of Madinah What is fiqh, and is it the same as Shari'ah? Fiqh is our understanding of what is expected of us towards God and towards people.
