    "note": "The English Wikipedia article is the only independent source naming a school for him: its infobox gives denomination Sunni, jurisprudence Hanafi and movement Deobandi, and its lead calls him a Sunni scholar. The Wikidata item records no religion at all. Everything else that names a school is his own ecosystem — Darul Iftaa Leicester, the institute he founded, publishes his fatwas reasoning within the Hanafi school, and his best-known Arabic work comments on a Deobandi creed text — or describes his schooling, as Denis MacEoin's 2009 report does in calling him a graduate of the Deobandi Darul Uloom in Bury. One independent source plus his own institution does not meet the two-source rule, so he is not recorded as sunni-hanafi; the case is flagged in the batch 50 report.",
