16 Feb 2021Monday Nights with Mufti Abu Layth Did Imam Ahmad really refuse to say the Quran is created? Mufti Abu Layth says later Hanbalis made Imam Ahmad a hero of the Mihna, though he likely said the Quran was created to save himself; Ash'ari books also call the worded Quran created.

12 Jan 2021Monday Nights with Mufti Abu Layth Does Sahih al-Bukhari really say God dangled in front of the Prophet? Mufti Abu Layth says the Bukhari report of God 'dangling' before the Prophet is unacceptable, and any hadith that clashes with reason or the Quran must be rejected.

3 Jul 2020MindTrap with Mufti Abu Layth Do Salafis believe God has a body? Mufti Abu Layth says Hanbalis and modern Salafis in effect believe God has body parts and so project a human image onto God; the guest notes philosophers and Isma'ilis objected that attributes give God parts.

19 Apr 2020video What does Mufti Abu Layth think of Muhammad ibn Abd al-Wahhab? On balance Mufti Abu Layth places Muhammad ibn Abd al-Wahhab in the negative: a puritan dogmatist who demolished tombs, killed pilgrims and inspired the Salafi movement, which he feels did more harm than good and is a springboard for extremism. He adds that the movement also revived hadith and challenged blind following and superstition.

5 Nov 2019Hadith Studies What is the difference between the Ash'ari and Athari (Hanbali) creeds? The core difference is that the Athari (Hanbali) creed attributes body parts to God and the Ash'ari creed does not. Mufti Abu Layth would broadly align himself with the Ash'aris, with reservations, and ranks the philosophers above all the theologians.

24 Dec 2018From the Mind of a Mufti If Muslims accept miracles that defy reason, can they still object that the Trinity is irrational? Muslims must hold the Quran to be in line with reason, because accepting miracles that make no sense removes any ground for objecting that three cannot equal one; consistency is all or nothing. Hijab denied that Muslims ever held anthropomorphic beliefs, but some did, though Mufti Abu Layth does not share them.

20 Oct 2018Responding to Refutations Is a new interpretation of the Quran the same as claiming to be a new prophet? Equating a new interpretation with a claim to prophethood is out of order, since the Salafi movement itself is a radical reinterpretation that rejects the majority and holds that God has a leg and a foot. The majority of Muslims have always accepted metaphor in the Quran.
