Where did I say that Saudi were Hanafi. Any fool knows that they are Hanbali, as are most Gulf Arabs except the Omani, who are Ibadi. The Arabic word is madhab, and the Arabic dictionary I have says sects. Having been born and brought up in Saudi Arabia, never once did I ever here anyone translate madhab as anything other then sect in English. However, the Arabs never use the word firqa, which is used by Pakistanis.

And now you’re comparing Hanafi and Hanbali with Ibadis. Nice.
Firqa is Urdu or Arabic word for Sect. Fiqh or Madhab means school of thought. What Arabic dictionary you have? Sect is firqah, shiah or Taifa in Arabic.

Anyone outside Sunni Islam is considered sect, not madhab. We can say Ahle Tashih is a sect or Ibadi is a sect but Hanafi or even Deobandis and Brelvis belong to Ahle Sunnah waljamah as they all follow the four madahib (hanafi, hanbali, shafi or maliki).
