Bismihi Ta'ala

We are not in a position to issue a verdict of Kufr on any individual unless his Kufr is manifest and openly clear.

After all, we are not going to be questioned regarding Raza Khans religious positions in our grave nor on the day of Judgement.

Discussions such as these should be avoided and we should concentrate on the more important discussions such as, his reasons for identifying Deobandis with Kufr, and counter tackling those aspects as and when needed.

And Allah knows best
