What this part covers
machinesummary, machine-writtenThe guest studied with Salafi scholars in Pakistan, mostly privately; he says Madinah graduates prefer the name Salafi and the Pakistani Ahl al-Hadith prefer Ahl al-Hadith.
In more detail
Mufti Abu Layth clarifies that the guest is not another mufti mentioned in the chat and asks him about his journey. The guest says he studied the Islamic sciences with Salafi scholars in different cities of Pakistan, some of whose names are garbled in the transcript. Asked whether they call themselves Salafi or Ahl al-Hadith, he says those who studied at the University of Madinah or in Saudi Arabia prefer the name Salafi, while the Pakistani Ahl al-Hadith prefer Ahl al-Hadith, and a group originating in Karachi, Jamaat al-Muslimin [?], calls itself simply Muslims. He says he was born and raised in Karachi in a Hanafi family, studied for a time at Jamia Muhammadiyya [?], an old Ahl al-Hadith madrasa dating from before partition, but did most of his study privately with scholars, travelling in the Punjab, and mentions Abd al-Mannan Nurpuri [?] among those who taught there.
