Good, however as the shaykh Abdal Hakim knows we moderns have been educated to think we are all the same, even professors must be questioned by their students...no one is privileged in knowledge also we have the mistaken idea that somehow we are smart and the experts in any field especially religion are fakes. It is a modern sickness that people educated in western education tend to display. It would be good if some of the Ulaama rationally demonstrated why they are necessary experts by breaking apart some of the salaafi arguments.

salafis dont say you dont need scholars akhi, dont spread these sorts of misconceptions, the less we understand each other, the harder any sort of reconcilation is

what the salafis say, is that experts are not ma'suum.

In the west, doctors have told women their unborn children were dead, she questioned this and then it came out alive. The doctors had offered medication to remove it that wud have killed it. Doctors misdiagnose cancer and all sorts.

Experts can make costly mistakes in all fields including religion.

We still need ulema and should love and respect them, but dont believe they are ma'suum or all knowing or infallible.

To highlight a point, your deobandi scholars follow oppinions that imam abu hanifa rh never held. Does this mean they are more knowledgable? Or that imam abu hanifa rh had some mistakes? Or do u wish to follow imam abu hanifa rh 100% in which case, i can quote you many things which you do that goes against his oppinions.
