a few years ago, he annihilated the deobandi debater, tahir gayawi, in front of a gathering of tens of thousands in katihar, bihar. the topic was khatm e nubuwat and nanotwi. gayawi disappeared during the third day with the excuse of going for wudu. mawlana reminded gayawi of incidents in katihar in the debate that took place early this year where gayawi chose not to be the debater, only the helper. wit: gayawi in punjabi would mean he's already gone!

I have done something similar in my blog a while back which includes in it scholars from the UK. They may not be 'fuqaha' as such but it is still worth a read. Here is the link: Was Salam Jashim

anyway, the arguments presented in his piece were certainly convincing and to be honest even if you do decisively prove his retraction I still think it would be a beneficial piece......
as-salamu alaikum Can you please show exactly where he said he has taken back or was mistaken on his fatwa on the beard? I saw someone mention on yanabi: "Mua'raf-e-Raza Sep 2005 by Idara tehqiqat Imam Ahmad Raza KarachMua'raf-e-Raza Sep 2005 by Idara tehqiqat Imam Ahmad Raza Karachi" Have you actually seen this? Did sh. ghulam rasul sa'idi refer specifically to the beard article and if so, then has he given his reason why he was mistaken? In the absence of any specific proof that he has taken back that section on the beard I see no reason to stop the translation. jazakumAllahu khayran.
the ruju was done recently, it was even published in one magazine. there are a few refutations of Allama Saeedi about. if you have a close contact with him then simply ask his permission before translating and putting it up.
refuted maybe! (although i have not seen any "refutations"). No ruju though,otherwise he would have removed the argument from his work altogether or at least made it clear. Its actually a very valid argument if one actually reads it,whether you agree or not with it is another matter.
he has been refuted on the beard issue by the way and i have even heard he did ruju (took it backk) so it should not be put up.
Why not Allaama Ghulam Rasool Saeedi of karachi? Has compiled a truly brilliant Tafsir of Quran(Tibyan ul Quran) A sharh of complete Sahih Muslim Shareef. Is now working on the the Sharh of Sahih Bukhari shareef(volume 1 completed).
Yes the full 18 volumes was nearly complete when i last contacted the scholar who is translating the masterpiece and was due to go to printers and that was last year. You can contact them via there website www.Noori.org or email noori@noori.org
