Not a firebrand one, that's for sure. He's very cool. Anyway read this on SF, it made me laugh:

Wow MashAllah, This Mufti is pretty sharp looking. The guy has got style, he got the looks, hes rocking a nice shirt with a sweet looking tie. Also the guy seems to be into some serious weightlifting and got what they call "Guns".Hes so different from the regular lot. The Mufti of the new age, the 21st century. Is this only a Maliki thing or what. Or is it that Hanafis , salafis etc make our religion too tight.

I don't mind shayks wearing a suit and tie...
I do recall seeing Shayk Yasir Qadhi with a suit and tie once.
But let the beard grow!

As long as he gives correct knowledge... And his clothes are not revealing in any way.

Where can I get a "shaykh" or a "mufti" title. It seems these titles have become very cheap these days.

Mufti Abu Layth al-Maliki carried out preliminary Arabic and Islamic Studies as a teenager in the UK before going to Damascus, Syria, where he adopted the Maliki madh'hab and studied the essential knowledge of Islam. He went on to memorise the Qur'an along with Tafsir at the Jami`ah Muhammadiyyah Institute in Islamabad, Pakistan.

Mufti Abu Layth returned to Syria to recite the entire Qur'an to Shaykh `Abdu'l-Haadi at-Tabbaa' and gained an ijazah and chain of transmission (isnad) going back to the Messenger of Allah (salla'Llahu `alayhi wa sallam).

After gaining his ijazah, the Mufti completed the Dars-e-Nizami `Alim Course, at the renowned Jami`ah Binnoria in Karachi, Pakistan, where he graduated first class in various Islamic Sciences, from Tafsir, Usul and Comparative Fiqh, to Arabic Literature, Arabic Grammar and `Aqidah. There he gained his isnad in the major books of Hadith.

Mufti Abu Layth then completed the Mufti Course at the same institute where he further specialised in Fiqh, across the various madh'habs, and trained to give Fatwas on Islamic Issues under the supervision of Mufti Abdullah Shoukat (who is a key student of Mufti Taqi Usmani) for Hanafi Fiqh, and Mufti Salim Al-Tunisi for Maliki Fiqh.

Since his return to the UK, he has qualified as a school teacher, and is currently working towards completing his Degree in Psychology. Mufti Abu Layth al-Maliki has a small group of students in Maliki Fiqh who he teaches regularly in Birmingham, and is also engaged in teaching Fiqh and Arabic online.
