Salamun 'alaykum,
Some scholars, especially those Dhahiri scholars(NOT referring to the Fiqhi school) not trained in the inner sciences(tasawwuf), made Takfir of them. The majority of the Sufiyah have praised them, especially Shaykh Al-Akbar Ibn 'Arabi (rahmatu'Allahi 'alayh). His legacy is to be found especially in the Shathili Tariqa. |

Ibn 'Arabi is counted as Shaykh al Akbar in the inner sciences by the people of Deoband. Mansur al Hallaj is counted as a Kaafir by our(Deobandi) scholars. IIRC, In Aap Beti, Shakh Zakariya quotes a book of Mawlana Ashraf Ali Tahanawi , where he is quoting Mawlana Qasim Nanautawi on the explanation of al-Hallaj's actions. That's Imam Qasim Nanautawi, Hakimul-Ummah and Hadrat Shaykh . Surely their views represent the scholars of Deoband..... |

I would like to add something about Al-Hallaj. While some giants of Ahlus Sunnah have said that he was a Wali (Ibn Hajr al-Haytami and others), we must also remember that it was his former teacher and murshid, Al-Imam Junayd Al-Baghdadiy (radiya'Allahu 'anhu) who judged upon the Dhahir and officiated the execution of Al-Hallaj. We are followers of the Junaydi Path. Yet the Sane teaches the Fool and vice versa. And there is a lot of depth in this saying for those who reflect.

The explanation is the explanation of the process by which one falls off the path. Understanding why and how something happened is different from considering it right. So think deep and ponder. |

Not to start about sheikh ibn arabi, but no deobandi scholar i am aware of advocates 'all' his teachings. The controversial issues he raised have been refuted by ulema e deoband. Refuted with respect, they say he erred in his understanding.
As far as I am aware 'all' deobandi scholars advise to stay away from reading sheikh ibn arabi's books if you are a layman. There are certain beliefs thats sheikh ibn arabi held that are outright wrong, one is the term 'withaal', which is a word in urdu. Sheikh Ibn arabi was of the belief that the soul of the Prophet Sallalahu Alayhi Wassalam would reunite with Allah after his demise, but that is incorrect because Allah is wahid, one, and he has no partner. Our ulema e deoband seem to have used the term 'withaal' also in many books but they used it without understanding the history behind the term withaal, the word comes from Sheikh Ibn Arabi's maslak and I was told that it is wrong. If you wish to know more please consult a mufti who is well versed in aqeedah. With regards to Manur al Hallaj, then as far as i know no deobandi scholar (at least on paper) calls him a kafir. If anything the deobandi scholars who are well versed in tassawuf always try to justify his actions. I believe there was something written about Mianji Nurmuhammad Jhinjanvi (Sheikh of Haji saheb) that he also went through the same as Mansur al Hallaj but he didnt say a word and continued like that for a period of 6 months. What Mansur al Hallaj went through was a state. |

Scholars like Ibn Taymiyyah regard them i.e Ibn arabi and Mansur hallaj as disbelivers .
Other than Ibn Taymiyyah ,Does anyone know other great scholars who regard both Ibn Arabi and Mansur Hallaj as disbelievers? This is a lie propogated by many "traditionalists", especially Nuh Keller, and Ibn Taymiyyah isn't the only one who made takfeer of Ibn Arabi as there are hundreds of classical ulama from the Sufis and Ash'aris who made takfeer of Ibn Arabi as mentioned byAl-Biqa'i, Taqiyyuddeen al-Fasi, and others. Some scholars, especially those Dhahiri scholars(NOT referring to the Fiqhi school) not trained in the inner sciences(tasawwuf), made Takfir of them. Stop lying and the majority of those who made takfeer of Ibn Arabi weren't Dhahiri. Nut surprising coming from the Ahbash who consider Hafez al-Asad a great "Muslim" while making takfeer of Ibn Taymiyyah. |

Assalamualikum wmwbt
Regarding Sheikh Ibn-e-Arabi ru scholars advise not to go through his books because there are certain terminologies which u might not understand or take the meaning which wasnt supposed by Sheikh. About Mansur Hallaj i dont have a fatwa but yes i went to meet a aalim and he used respectable words for Mansur Hallaj. Regarding Ibn-e-tayymiah ru making takfir of such scholars,he was a bit mutashaddid and so are the present day salafis. All three of them are with Allah sbw now,they must have gone through their hisaab. |
