i don't know im not part of the gujarati deobandi community...but i do recall salafis on a salafi forum being very annoyed about some course that he did where he told everyone he is a hanafi

but i think they the type of 'hanafis' that are against taqlid shakhsi....and is what they promote...which is kinda irresponsible as they are preaching this to students who have no basic knowledge of fiqh from what i have seen of the students of al kauthar some of them don't even seem to understand what a madhab is

I think their usage of the word Hanafi is in the literal meaning (as in monotheist) and not the common ('urfi) meaning, as in an adherent of the Hanafi mathhab. They seem to employ this lexical strategy to confuse the Hanafi laity. I presume not all Salafis recognise this and therefore criticise the Al Kauthar crew because of this. Their are also various strands within the Salafis and the criticism might be based on this. I know some Salafis who are particularly vocal in their critcism of the Al Kauthar and Al Maghrib lot.
