Ageeb, yesterday I met a salafi to whom one brother was trying to explain how if he wanted to lead salah, he should just wash his feet instead of wiping, in order to maintain unity and to keep everyone happy. Boy did that get him started. Anyway to cut it short, he mentioned how in beshti zewar it is mentioned that if you walk on grass with socks then your masah is complete and thus wudhu done. He used this as evidence to support that even "deobandi" scholars permit wiping on normal socks. Me and the brother were both in a rush so we left him shortly after that. After reaching home I checked beshti zewar and found what he had said was an absolute lie and deception. the masla he mentioned is in beshti zewar but it clearly refers to LEATHER socks, subhanAllah may Allah protect the ummah from this fitna. Lesson: Dont be intimidated by the seemingly over confidence of these brothers, if they give these random quotes then demand visual evidence immediately. Best is not to even engage these brothers, if they engage you just read taawuz and leave.
The internet is filled with wrong translations of Deobandi books and then making outrageous remarks and comments. One site has Souh Indian (Tamil speaking Muslims) who make claims about Fazail-e-Amaal and have the nerve to say "We don't read or understand Urdu" :-)
