Thanks for the feedback. Would I be right to assume that these individuals downplay the Salafi label to work among Hanafis (particularly Deobandis in the UK and South Africa)?
They claim some of their teachers are Deobandi - how does this all fit in?

Yes, this is correct. They would not openly claim to be Salafi and from what I have heard some of their courses it seems as if they are accommodating of the various madha'ib. It is true that some of the lecturers do come from Deobandi backgrounds, studied at Deobandi Darul 'Ulooms, etc. This (downplaying the Salafi label, claiming to be Deobandi, etc) is simply a conniving and misleading methodology that they employ and unfortunately many have been lost.

On another thread our forum Ameer Saheb, Mufti Husain (HA) says:

brother

Is everyone in alkauthar salafi? I thought that Shaykh Bilal Ismail was Hanafi?
Wasalaam.

there are institutes that our 'Ulama have set up such as Shaykh Riyadh al-Haqs Al-Kawthar Academy and As-Suffa Institute and others. The challenge is to take them out there to the public and

there will be success.

Surely, haqq will always prevail.
