19 Jan 2021Monday Nights with Mufti Abu Layth What can I do if I can't afford to marry but want to avoid zina? Mufti Abu Layth has no easy answer: religion is failing people here because scholars and cultures will not discuss options, and marriage has become too costly for the young.

4 Jan 2021video Is masturbation haram in Islam? In the clip Yasir Qadhi says the majority hold masturbation to be haram, but that others held it makruh or permissible, citing Ibn Abbas's reply to a young man and Ibn Hazm, and that he believes there is no sin in it although it is better avoided. This is Qadhi's view played for discussion, not Mufti Abu Layth's own statement.

22 Apr 2020MindTrap with Mufti Abu Layth Does the Quran prescribe stoning for adultery? The Quran's penalty for adultery is flogging, not stoning, which the guest says entered Muslim law from hadith and is biblical in origin, so explaining Islam to the public must start from the Quran. Mufti Abu Layth says he agrees completely that the Quran must have primacy.

20 Dec 2018From the Mind of a Mufti Does Islam say homosexuals should be thrown off buildings or executed? There is no sahih hadith in which the Prophet spoke about homosexuals, the reports of Ali ordering executions are not authentic in Mufti Abu Layth's view, and the early jurists disagreed, with the Hanafis holding it is not a hadd offence. The claim of a consensus that homosexual acts deserve death is false.

20 Dec 2018From the Mind of a Mufti Is homosexuality haram in Islam, and why were the people of Lut destroyed? Mufti Abu Layth accepts the majority view that homosexual acts are haram, but says the punishments scholars assigned were variable public-order measures that changed over time, that the people of Lut were destroyed primarily for rejecting their prophet, and that the ruling does not require hatred of homosexual people.

4 May 2018Clarifying False Hadith Which Insult Islam Is there a hadith that says a woman who wears perfume outside is a zaniya? The report, transmitted only from Abu Musa al-Ash'ari and found in al-Nasa'i, Abu Dawud, Ahmad and al-Tirmidhi, says a woman who passes people while wearing perfume is a fornicator.

4 May 2018Clarifying False Hadith Which Insult Islam Would the Prophet really call a woman wearing perfume a fornicator? No: Mufti Abu Layth says calling a woman a fornicator is the crime of qadhf under Quran 24:4, punished by the Malikis whatever the intention, and the Prophet was never obscene, so the report insults him. Lessonposition checkedQuran 24:4 (those who accuse chaste women without four witnesses)Quran 68:4 (you are of a great character) [?]report: ayyuma imraatin istatarat fa marrat ala qawmin li yajidu rihaha fa hiya zaniyareport: lam yakun al-nabi fahishan wa la sabbaban wa la laanan (Anas, in al-Bukhari, number not stated) machine9 min 15 s10:32on YouTube
5 Mar 2018On Love, Romance, and Relationships Is zina today the same issue it was in the past? Much of the inherited social theory on relationships and marriage no longer matches today's reality, and Mufti Abu Layth calls for ulama to re-examine the context with fresh ijtihad. He describes marriage today as costly and idealised, with divorce and polygamy stigmatised. Question from live chatposition checkedzinaijtihadulama machine5 min 10 s1:18on YouTube
20 Sep 2017Debunking Myths On: Jinns, Magic, the Evil Eye, and Superstitions Why does the guest warn women never to go to exorcists? Exorcists exploit women: the guest recounts a girl coached to feign possession to hide her lost virginity, and says many women have been made pregnant by such men in India and on a large scale in Britain. Every illness has a cure that must be sought by proper effort.
