Your post is a pernicious and deceitful attempt to legitimize the kufr of the perennialists. Reliance of the traveller came out in the 90's, Shaykh Nuh has since made it abundantly clear that perennialism is kufr. Many people were simply not aware of Nasr's perennialist philosophy in the beginning. Shaykh Nuh Keller has repeatedly cited Imam Nawawi as saying:

Shaykh Nuh critiques the perennial philosophy in his translation of Reliance of the Traveller and also his renewer Sea Without Shore, yet cautions that Muslims should not label particular Muslim perennialists as kuffar, leaving this task to the jurists. Similarly, yet with a bit more nuance, Shaykh Hamza critiques some of Martin Lings' views, yet refers to him as a saint or wali Allah.

Muslims should be able to take what is good from their writings and leave what they may disagree with without throwing around invectives.

Wa Salam,
Nur Muhammad
