18 Oct 2025MindTrap with Mufti Abu Layth LatestIs the daytime ban on eating and intimacy in Ramadan stated in the Quran or inferred? The daytime prohibition of eating and intimacy in Ramadan comes from 2:187 by mafhum al-mukhalafa, an adverse inference Mufti Abu Layth accepts but which is not the explicit reading, so some verses need the tradition's explanation; the guest says each reader is rewarded according to his understanding.

18 Sep 2019From the Mind of a Mufti Why do people assume music must be haram before looking at any evidence? People come to Islam with a prior picture of what religion must be, which includes sacrifice, suffering and asceticism and excludes entertainment, and this backdrop rather than the texts drives their judgement that music is haram. Even with no hadith against it, music would be forbidden on that basis.

25 Jul 2019Ponderings on the Holy Quran How does the rule that a clear verse overrides an ambiguous one apply to Quran 65:4? By a principle of usul the ambiguous phrase 'those who have not menstruated' is read in the light of the clear opening term women, which cancels any reading that includes girls. The Quran could have said fatayat but addressed them as nisa.

1 Apr 2018Islamic Eschatology On what principles can a hadith in Bukhari be rejected, and may ordinary Muslims do so? A valid chain is not enough: a report must not go against reason, the established Quran and Sunnah, or the principles of Islam, and the Hanafi-Maturidi majority require mutawatir hadith for creed. Lay people may suspend a hadith that troubles them while seeking guidance; the gecko hadith is given as a report Mufti Abu Layth considers made up.

6 Sep 2017From the Mind of a Mufti Should scholars give fatwas based on minority opinions if it makes life easier? In this clip Shaykh Akram Nadwi says scholars may give fatwas on easier minority opinions in minor matters of fiqh, since ease has always guided the jurists. Mufti Abu Layth speaks only at the end.
