Title: I would like to ask about the Fatwa issued in 1320 A.H. (1900 A.D.) by 33 prominent Ulama of Makkah and Medina Shareef applied to Deobandi Ashraf Ali Thanvi, Khalil Ahmed Ambetwi, Rashid Ahmed Gangohi and Qassim Nanotvi as well. So whats your reply in context with the same that they were not kafir. More over in one of the books, Ashraf ali thanvi writes that the one who follows a kafir, or reads his books then he will also be considered as a kaafir. if you need then i will provide you the name of the book with the page number in which ashraf ali thanvi has written these words. Just tell me your views on this and i have still more questions to ask but only if you are ready enough to answer my questions. Because i think till today no one from madrasa-e-deoband has answered this question. awaiting for your reply at the earliest.

Bismillah hir-Rahman nir-Rahim !

(Fatwa: 730/628=B/1429)

Discard prejudice and biasness, and study ?Al-Muhannad? carefully. It contains the beliefs of our elders with certifications and stamps of Ulama from Haramain Sharifain.
