Assalam o 'alaykum,

G.F Haddad holds same beliefs as Barelwis. He is very fond of Ahmad Rida Khan and recommends his works. If anyone cares about his iman, he should avoid G.F. Haddad. At times it seem like he translates stuff from Barelwi books and publishes under his name.

As far as hadhir nadhir issue, it says in Fatawa Alamgiri:

تزوج رجل امرأة ولم يحضر الشهود وقال خدائے را ورسول را گواه كردم او قال
خدائے راوفرشتگان راه گواه كردم يكفر ولم قال فرشته دست راست را گواه كردم
وفرشته دست چپ راه گواه كردم لا يكفر

"If a man did nikah without any witnesses and he said 'I make Allah and his Messenger (Allah bless him and give him peace) my witnesses,' or he says “I make Allah’s Messenger my witness,' or he says “I make Allah and his angels my witnesses,' then such an individual will become a kafir. If he says I make the angels on my right and left sides (Kiraman Katibin) as my witnesses then he will not be a kafir [because both these angels are present]."

And 'Allamah ibn Nujaym writes,

قال علمائنا من قال ارواح المشائخ حاضره تعلم يكفر
"Our 'ulama have said that if a person says that souls of mashaykh are present and they know, he is a kafir."

Qadhi Thana Allah Panipati, a Naqashbandi Mujaddidi Sufi master who was the lhalifah of Mirza Mazhar Jan-i-Jan and one of the leading students of Shah Wali Allah Muhaddith Dahlawi, writes:

“Juristic issue: If any person says that Allah Most High and His prophet are witness in a certain act, then that person becomes a kafir because such a person has regarded the Prophet (may Allah bless him and grant him peace) as the knower of the unseen (‘alim al-ghayb). The awliya of Allah do not have the ability or power to bring a non-existent thing into existence nor to make an existing thing non-existent. Hence, to relate to them the power of bringing into existence and taking out of existence, sustenance, granting of children, removing and averting illness and hardships, etc. is an act of kufr. Allah says: ‘Say (Oh Muhammad [may Allah bless him and grant him peace]), I do not have the power to benefit or harm my own self, except what Allah wills…’ (Irshad al-Talibin, page 18).”
