Subhanallah, May Allah reward yous for the consistency.

In the context of the decline of the Great Seljuq and the success of the ‘First’ Crusade, the various Turkic dynasties that arose in Shaam that were the descendants of recent Turkic converts to Islam and retained many of their previous beliefs from Tengrism and Steppe culture, which included shirk such as astrology and acts that can be equated to drawing of lots. Another huge aspect of Steppe Culture was drinking. Ilghazi, the man who defeated the famous Roger of Salerno at Ager Sanguinis failed to capture Antioch because he celebrated the great victory he had been given by becoming extremely drunk instead of advancing. Similarly, the great Imad ud-Din Zengi, who destroyed five Christian armies and recaptured Edessa, was killed by a French slave who found him in a state of extreme drunkenness. These men are also seen as the heroes of the crusades. May Allah forgive them both and guide the khawārij, and silence those whom will not be guided.

Where do i find the evidence/ statement of Imam Hanafi (May ALLAH have Mercy on him) said: "If hadith contradicts my statement, throw away my opinion / statement". I learned Brother Mj memorized: - The holy Quran - The 40 hadith of Imam Nawawi. - The Tufhat ul - Aftal (Tajweed - rules of Quran recitation). - Jazariyya (Tajweed science). If the Pakistani hanafi Imam, still doesnt believe its in the Sunnah to raise hands, even if u follow Hanafi Madhab. Should I stop praying behind him? INSAH'ALLAH u will answer! I actually appriciate every drop of the ilm, ALLAH provides me with! It really feels like a defeat, witnessing my local Masajid, straying away from Sunnah.

Alcohol is only permissible in diplomatic areas meaning isn’t even on Saudi soil. So alcohol isn’t sold anywhere shaykh

Didn't shaytaan say to Allah that I will get them by tempting them from all sides. And Allah said except my faithful servants. In another verse Allah tells us that most people don't believe and in another verse He tells us most people are ungrateful and in another verse He tells us most people are not thankful and hate the truth. So my brother here is telling you to accept reality... Human frailty and hypocrisy.
