I will summarize this one last time:
Our issue with modernism is their ***Manhaj***, not individual opinions that they pick out
What is this Manhaj? It is combing through history and picking out whichever opinions suit their desires,—

—even if it is a totally deviant rejected opinion from 1 single person
As long as it fits the agenda, they will pick it up and go with it with the excuse that this is what the "evidence" has lead them to

Now, when you pick out 25 positions (that all just so coincidentally happen to match with liberal values) from any random person possible, and then you tell me: "I'm not a modernist, these opinions existed somewhere", you won't be taken seriously
I'm not that bothered with the individual opinions some scholars *might* have held (with the exception of the Kufr of Fanā’ al-Nār and other things like Hadd al-Riddah), the issue is with your modernist Manhaj of combing through and picking them out
And by the way, this Manhaj was not invented by this hanif modernist person, it is the general Manhaj of people that want to act like they have the backing of Islamic heritage:
Muhammad Habash, the grade A modernist heretic, in his book on women in Islām, combs through Islamic literature and picks out random opinions from any random person, and then says that this is the stronger opinion than what the 4 Madhāheb say
For example:
On the issue of women leading Salāh, he finds that Ibn Jarīr al-Tabarī permitted that women lead Salāh (and this is rejected by everyone else), so he picked it up and said: "This is the correct opinion"
On the issue of women leading Salāh, he finds that Ibn Jarīr al-Tabarī permitted that women lead Salāh (and this is rejected by everyone else), so he picked it up and said: "This is the correct opinion"
If I go up to Habash and call him a modernist, am I calling al-Imām al-Tabarī a modernist? No, of course not.
al-Tabarī didn't reach this opinion because of modernism, rather because of his Ijtihād
You (modernist) reached this opinion because of a modernist agenda
al-Tabarī didn't reach this opinion because of modernism, rather because of his Ijtihād
You (modernist) reached this opinion because of a modernist agenda
And notice that these people don't always have scholarly "backing" (it's an insult to call it that), and when they don't, they will play the "the Hadīth/verse said so" game
Moral of the story:
Don't be a modernist
