It is not necessary for our elders to know the details of everyone that they grant ijazas to. The book Mafahim by Shaykh Maliki came after Maulwi Zakariyya had passed on and the objections of the Deobandis who read the book were not on fiqhi issues but on matters of belief. You can read the details here:
http://www.sunniforum.com/forum/show...ars-of-Deoband
The 'Ulama of Deoband who granted ijazah to Shaykh Maliki were:
1. Shaykh al Hadith, Zakariyya Kandhalwi.
2. Mufti Shafi' Uthmani.
3. Sahib 'Ila al Sunan, Imam Zafar Ahmad Thanwi, nephew of Hakim al Ummah.
4. Muhaddith Habib al Rahman Azmi.
5. Ghazzali-e-waqt `Ali Miyan Nadwi.
I accept that.

I've read the thread and I think it is disgusting as to how Sayyid Shaikh Alawi al-Maliki was spoken of. And I find it highly troublesome that MANY Deobandis endorsed the book Mafahim when it was published in arabis but when it came into urdu they took back their endorsements and spoke against it. Also no one mentioned anything as to the similarities with the book Mafahim and what is contained in the book al-Ibriz. This was all brought up in the thread. Anyway, the point I have spoken to some Deobandi ulama who maintain the Shaikh Alawi was upright and not an innovator as the loathesome thread claims. I am pointing out the fact that when someone says Deobandi, they are not talking about a single group, but a group that has various opinions in it. Which is fine.
