Imam Nawawi says that this is very strong from the point of view of evidence." If this is a paraphrase of the Kifaya, it is off the mark and if it is a translation (even a non-literal one) of the passage from the Kifaya, it is wrong.
[Imam] al-Nawawi in the al-Rawdat [al-Talibin] said: "There is an irregular opinion [Qawl Shadhdh] which says that, except for the licking [of the dog], it suffices to wash once, like the rest of the impurities." In the Sharh al-Muhadhdhab [i.e.

 On Imam Ghazali and Bosnia
Ghazali, in short, through his manifesto the Ihya, offers the only intellectually rigorous escape from the trap of postmodernity.
We are now grasping what Ghazali and his school were explaining nine hundred years ago: no universal statements about the world or the human condition can be reached by purely ratiocinative or inductive methods, because these cannot transcend the material context of the world in which they are framed.
Similarly, Ghazali's interest in Sufi mysticism is regarded with suspicion by members of the Wahhabi sect, which has its headquarters in Saudi Arabia, because it interferes with their vision of Islam as a purely legalistic, superficial religion with no possibilities of nuanced spiritual or literary discourse.

The following is a section from the above book, the book is an remarkable piece of work on eschatology by probably the greatest scholar of Islam, Imam Hujjat al-Islam (The Proof of Islam) Abu Hamid al-Ghazali (1058-1111).
Imam Nawawi has said that "if all the books of Islam were lost, the Ihya would suffice them all", such is the depth and detail of this remarkable work.

 The Fiqh of Imam al-Ghazali?
Additionally, the authorities of the Muslim biographers and historiographers like Imam al-Taj Subki and others who preceded or followed him mentioned Imam al-Ghazali as a Shafii, not as an independent mujtahid who left adherence to Imam Shafiis madhab (Allah be well pleased with him and show him mercy), and Allah knows best.
Also, the imams of our madhhab of the past and present still pass on the opinions and words of al-Ghazali and research into them as an imam of the madhab and whose words and opinions are a position within it, not as a separate mujtahid who has left following the Shafii madhab.
There is no disagreement that al-Ghazali, Allah have mercy on him, is not just an adherent of the Shafii school of fiqh, but one of the greatest imams of the madhab, with several well known works for which he is still known by the great scholars of biography and history.

 Muslim American Society
Al Ghazali, we may concede, taught the primacy of axiological knowledge, which relates man to God, over the knowledge of the world, which would be faulty and groundless without the first.
Al Ghazali argued that neither the knowledge nor the subject of knowledge changes when, having been informed of change before its taking place, the object of knowledge goes through the pre-known change.
Al Ghazali therefore could not countenance the preaching of Mansur al Hallaj (309/922) who went about Baghdad claiming that through the mystical experience he and God had become one.

Ghazali, however, engaged in theological polemics himself, and his more systematic writings on theology were preceded by his polemical treatise against the Batieniya sect of Nezari Isma`ilism.

 Medieval Sourcebook: Abu Hamid al-Ghazali (1058-1111 CE): Munkidh min al-Dalal (Confessions, or  Deliverance from Error), c. 1100 CE
Ghazali argued that an infinite time was related to an infinite space.
In fact, Ghazali strove vehemently to destroy the demonstrative range that philosophers, Avicennians as well as others, accorded to their arguments regarding the eternity of the world, the procession of the Intelligences, the existence of purely spiritual substances, and the idea of spiritual resurrection.
Based on his unquestionable scholarship and personal mystical experience, Ghazali sought to rectify these trends, both in philosophy and sufism.

The third condition which justifies debate is that the debater should have ability and give decision on his own responsibility without referring to the opinion of al-Imam al-A'zam Abu Hanifah or any other Imams.
The fourth condition which justifies debate is that the subject for decision should be about actual cases that crop up, for example, the question of inheritance and not about future cases.
He who has not the ability of independent interpretation should not express his opinion but should refer it to an Imam.
