btw its a shame that this thread turned into a salafi bashing thread as the op posted quite a nice beneficial article. If someone disagreed with any of the principles, they could have just politely disagreed and mentioned which points and how they could be corrected rather than start talking bout salafi this salafi that.

As far as ive been told, the scholar whom you mention, whom apparently had no knowledge of arabic or hadeeth or usool ul fiqh was actually the one who derived the usool of hanafi fiqh if my memory serves me correctly so id hate to think youd be insulting hanafi usool by making such a statement

surely in your attempt to refute salafis you just majorly insulted ibn abideen? If its the same person who im thinking of
