12 Jan 2021video Why was Ibn Taymiyya put in prison?

6 Apr 2020video What was in the letter attacking Shaykh al-Yaqoubi, and who sent it? A Bradford-based board wrote to Shaykh al-Yaqoubi demanding he declare Shia, Deobandi and Salafi figures kafir and condemn The Study Quran and Hamza Yusuf, which Mufti Abu Layth calls a sectarian bullying session.

6 Apr 2020video The letter's attack on Shaykh Akram Nadwi, and a played debate clip: 'one, two, three, kufr' The letter also demanded that Shaykh Akram Nadwi be called a deviant.

6 Apr 2020video Why is demanding that a scholar make takfir a form of bullying? It is bullying because it pushes a sectarian agenda by threatening to declare al-Yaqoubi a deviant or a kafir for refusing to pronounce on others' beliefs. The deen belongs to Allah, and it is nobody's duty to expel people from it. Question from live chatShaykh Muhammad al-YaqoubitakfirdeenSunni machine1 min 25 s15:27on YouTube

15 Mar 2018Responding to Refutations Is someone who denies a line of al-Tahawi's creed a kafir?
