Assalamua laikum,

You see brother that's the point. We cannot just disregard Salafi Hanbali ulema. The opinion they will give is that trimming is not permissible. And some of the Hanbali Saudis we are calling Salafi are not even Salafi - they are Hanbali.

And another point you bore out is that there isn't so many Hanbali ulema that we might actually know the truth. Apart from Sheikh Musa Furber who else can we quote?

For example when Saudis do masah on socks they are salafi, but when only Sheikh Musa Furber confirms its alright in the Hanbali madhab, then it becomes part of the Hanbali madhab. And the funny thing is Sheikh Mubarakpuri (who is very hardcore Salafi - and anti-Hanafi) he says that masah on cotton socks is not permissible.

So the issue of Hanabali fiqh is very obscure. Even with regards to Ibn Taymiyyah (rh) no one is really sure what his opinion is. Everyone quotes him to support themselves. Recently I even heard there is a book full of opinions where Ibn Taymiyyah and Abu Hanifa concur on countless issues.

Even with regards to Imam Ahmad, on one issue you have several narrations regarding his opinion. Different ulema give preference to different opinions.

Maliki fiqh - its more or less the same issue.

InshaAllaah I will open a new thread to address a similar concern.
