Sunni scholars from England presided by Luton Central mosque made a fatwa (religious ordinance) and said that anyone who preach or believe the teachings of Hazret Ibn Arabi is outside the fold of Maturidi-Hanafi-Sunni Islam.
This Fatwa effectively include Sultanul Awliya Mawlana Shaykh Nazim Al-Haqqani, his Shaykh Shaykh Abdullah Faiz Dagestani, and numerous other grand shaykhs in the Naqshbandi, Qadri, Shadily Sufi paths.
Lokman Effendi then agrees to this fatwa, and goes along with these Sunni scholars, whole their fatwa effectively saying that even shaykh Nazim is also outside the Sunni Islam, and bayat is broken as their teachings do not fit to the Sunni Maturidi beliefs.

Shaykh Nazim Al-Haqqani and Shaykh Abdullah Faiz Dagestani teach the wisdom of Hazret ibn Arabi:
“Our GrandShaykh says, ‘Knowledge is an endless ocean…Saints know about from before the time of Adam (peace be upon him)….Our GrandShaykh said that this is the period of our father Adam (peace be upon him) and his sons. We are living in it now. But before our father’s period, so many Adams have been created-no one knows their (exact)number!…Each Adam, and his sons were generally like us, in that they may be recognized as sons of Adam. All are servants of our Lord. Also, He Almighty, alone, knows how many Adams will come after us, how many periods there will be….Our GrandShaykh says, ‘Allah Almighty was addressing those Adams that were created before our father, Adam (peace be upon him) with the secrets of the Holy Quran. Quran, the Holy book, contains endless secret knowledge. Its secrets are such that you can find, included in it, all news from before and after us.” (Mercy Oceans: The Teachings of Maulana Abdullah al-Faizi ad-Daghestani, on p. 104-105)
