11 Dec 2020MindTrap with Mufti Abu Layth If blind following in faith is forbidden, why must I accept a school's creed without question? Mufti Abu Layth finds it paradoxical that schools forbid blind following in faith but demand blind acceptance of their creeds; the guest says traditionalists use reason only to reach revelation and then discard it, whereas reason must stay in continuous use.

18 Sep 2019From the Mind of a Mufti Is it haram to write or sing lyrics about alcohol? Lyrics about alcohol are not haram, since such poetry was recited in the Prophet's mosque, and declaring something haram because it might lead to bad behaviour is lying on God's behalf. Enjoining good is not policing, scholars need not be followed blindly, and God understands sarcasm as well as we do.
