I don't think we should expect much from shadee. Irregardless of who he is surrounded by. He is not a kid.
The reason is that he is surrounded by them in his area and some of the people he looks up to, like Hamza Maqbul, are hardcore Deobandis who will use their influence to confuse him even more. One of his teachers is a senior Rizvi scholar in NJ so if he is sincere he should consult with him on the matter.
The main thing is, they're starting to see devs for what they are. This comes back to our ulama forging strong links with Arabs and like Shaykh Asrar said, don't make Husam your first conversation.
Considering he has at least some knowledge of deo's, I don't know why it's taking so long for him to distance himself from them completely- it isn't just a case of a few deo's here and there, this is how they all are. The deo's haven't left these beliefs behind in a few old books- they're out there trying to promote it as we speak
The deos have already seen this and are tagging in links to their 'replies' in regards to this issue in the replies section to the Shaykh's tweets.
I used to think it’s just a local polemic, but when you think about it, if Allah could possibly lie, then “it’s *possible* that the Quran is a lie.” This is a disaster. This is why it was addressed way before Deo-Brelv in Hashiyat al-Bayjuri on Jawharat al-Tawhid.— Dr. Shadee Elmasry (@DrShadeeElmasry) November 14, 2021
