  Does anyone know if (Mufti) Taqi Usmani is Salafee or not?  Apparantly he has been teaching at Darul Uloom in Karachi for 35 years.  And are there any Salafyoon in Karachi?

As Salaamu `Alaykum. No, he is not Salafee, he is a Deobandee Hanafee. Taqi Usmani is also one of the board members for the HSBC's so called "Islamic Finance" division which has devised ways to cleverly conceal ribaa under the term "ijaarah" (rent) by consultation with this so called "expert" (and others) on the Sharee'ah. One of the Salafee brothers who spoke to someone in the bank informed me that the rental payments in these "Islamic Mortgages" are tied to interest rates, and there is no official tenancy agreement where the landlord (i.e. the bank) has legal obligations towards the tenant regarding the property. This means that the rental payment aspect of the mortgage is actually the ribaa in a normal mortgage, so in essence ribaa has been simply renamed as "ijaarah". I suppose this is another  illustration of the various ways in which the Innovators can harm the deen.
