Assalamualaikum Brothers and Sisters in Islam
Have anyone here heard about Dr. Zakir Naik?.. Is he a sunni?
I have heard that there are lots of interesting speeches and debates by him. Anyone can spread light over his work?..
JazakAllah Khair

He is a ghair muqallid. I think he also has animosities towards those who practice tasawwuf (which usually comes with being a ghair muqallid).
He is very good at comparative religion debates, etc. However, when it comes to fiqhi issues/fatwa I would recommend a more knowledgable and experienced scholar.

It is reported from Abu Umamah from the Prophet (Sallallahu 'Alayhi WaSallam) that he said:
اتَّقُوا فِرَاسَةَ الْمُؤْمِنِ ، فَإِنَّهُ يَنْظُرُ بِنُورِ اللَّهِ
" Fear the Insight of the Believer, for verily he sees with the Light of God"
