Restoration on reliable sources
I have once again restored the sources from Brill and Da Capo Press. Do not remove these without discussing first. I have also removed non academic sources such as Zarabozo. Do not add them without discussing first. 86.159.114.238 (talk) 12:14, 25 February 2017 (UTC)

Madhab
Infobox says Shafi`i, article says Hanafi. The source of the Shafi`i claim lists the source of the Hanafi claim as one of its own sources, and my guess is the author just mixed things up, as the passage where Voll mentions Sindhi's Madhab is awkwardly phrased ("Perhaps related to this is the fact that out of the 24 scholars whose madhhab is given or can be reasonably inferred, only three, including this mufti and al-’Ajami, are Hanafi. The third, Abi al-Hasan al-Sindi, was of Indian origin. The prominence of the Hanafi madhhab in India may explain his position and also Muhammad Hayyat’s own atypicality in this regard, since he was also a Hanafi."). I've never heard of Sindhi referred to as a Shafi`i anywhere outside of God's Terrorists, and the Hanafi claim seems much more likely just based on wher ehe comes from. Either way, the article should list one of them, or mention it's disputed at the very least.

On a related note, God's Terrorists doesn't seem very academic from a brief skim of it, is not written about Sindhi (he's just mentioned briefly as a teacher of Muhammad ibn Abdul Wahab), and doesn't contain any extra information about him that he didn't take from Voll's work, so it may be best to just cut out the middleman and cite Voll directly.
