I think it was clearly against them. You can as well check out the Fatwa on Fazail-e-Amal. Other than that there's not much to comment on this fatwa...
Question:

Assalamu wa Alaykum ya mashaykh!

I have book faizal amaal, in my idiom is one the few books which are not published by Saudi Arabia but is dawah tabligh, the book speaks enough good things about Tasawwuf, dhikr, kashf, which were awliyah Ahlul Sunnah, as the Tabligh dawah this far my knowledge of this group is Deobandi and the Deobandis have several deviations in aqida, this book is far and sunni shares in which we must refrain from believing in him? There are gaps in it? because so far I do not know to distinguish them, the book by speaking well of the Awliya and be the one in my tongue, I do read it, it has wonderful stories of sahaba, cites several awliyah turuq, good practice and advise, but wanted know much about departures as the book is basic reading for anyone who is dawah Tabligh movement.

Answer:

wa `alaykum salam,

This book was written by a staunch Deobandi scholar Shaykh Muhammad Zakariyya Kandhalawi, and contains many good citations from valid Sunni sources about the benefits of reciting Dhikrullah, and Salawat (Darood Sharif), stories of Sahaba and Awliyaullah. However, recent printings of the book have removed sections that Wahabis found “objectionable”, so these editions are not trustworthy. So rather than risk becoming confused read the many books written by your mashaykh or those books they approve.

W ‘Allahu `alam,

Taher Siddiqui

Salaam,

I don't see any problem with this, as the jamaat would say the same thing; read the books of your elders, and elders here means your own deobandi elders. He speaks with respect of the book and Hadrat Shaikh rah, and only criticizes recent versions. I have been with jamaats that did their own "editing" of the book; if they were in talim, and the word 'sufi' came up, they would just 'pious man' if there were any arabs with them, and sometimes they would skip full passages of the text and commentary that had "sufi stories" in them.
