Assalaamu `Alaykum wa Rahmatullaah.

There is no doubt as to the authenticity of the Fataawaa of Bare Hadhrat (Maulana Saadiq). I can guarantee any person, if he follows the views of Maulana with regards food and drink, then yes; he will end up having to leave off many things which he had liked, but he will never fall into Haraam. Maulana's views with regards to food are the harshest views, but they are the safest.

Maulana often issues Fataawaa on the basis of what is known in Sharee`ah as "Sadd-uz-Zaraa'i" (Closing the door which leads to evil). If he sees that some permissible action might lead towards Haraam and Ma`siyat, then he gives a Fatwa against it and condemns it, despite the fact that the other `Ulama might support it, and this is from his Firaasah (fore-sight).
