, Truly I hesitated writing this as I'm a nobody to everybody here, let alone past and present 'ulama and do not want to be counted with those who slander imam Ghazzali (). Al-inaam website had an article on this but could not find it otherwise I would have posted it instead. And concerning this specific issue Mufti taqi Al-'Uthmani (Hafidhahullah) must have analysed all the proofs including the statements of senior 'ulama like Al-Ghazzali (). And to use your argument Sahaba+Tabi'un+Tab'tabi'een>>>>>mutakallimun. for your concern.
