Question
Mufti Abu Layth also rejects the statement that magic was done on Rasulullah (Sallallahu alayhi wasallam) and says that this is a blasphemous statement, and an insult to Islam. He also cites this as one of the hadith in Bukhari and surprised that scholars defend this hadith in the love of isnaad.
Answer
The Hadith on the sihr perpetrated on Rasulullah (Sallallahu alayhi wasallam) is the unanimous view of all the Authorities of the Shariah from the age of the Sahaabah down to this age. The agent of Iblees, the moron Layth, has no status in the Shariah other than being a zindeeq-kaafir. Is it Islamically logical and acceptable to reject a tenet of Islam imparted to us since the past fourteen centuries for accepting the stupidity of a chap who mushroomed in this belated age in proximity to Qiyaamah? Does every Tom, Dick and Harry have the right after fourteen centuries of Islamic Belief, to abrogate any hukm of the Shariah?
