Shaikh Abdul Hakim Murad is often missunderstood by the people. He expresses both opinion in matters where there is no concensus. This made him often the target of criciticism. I remember asking him about death penalty for apostasy. He said he simply expressed views of past scholars. It is a different matter which became the dominant view. The deo scholars do work with him and his venture in trying to pick the best of the class of farigs to impart some understanding of the modern world is commedable. There has been a disconnect between the ulemah and academia since 1980s. This is where the likes of Shaik Abdul Hakim Murad is needed. In UK we don't have many such people!
Allahualam
