Refuting the Doubts Surrounding ibn Abdul Wahhab

The first doubt: which they present against the Dawah of Shaykh Muhammad ibn ‘Abdul Wahhab is they say he came with a fifth Madhhab.

 There are four Madhhabs of Ahlus Sunnah as you are aware of: The Hanafi Madhhab, the Maliki Madhhab, the Shafi’i Madhhab, and the Hanbali Madhhab.

They say Muhammad ibn ‘Abdul Wahhab came with a fifth Madhhab outside of these four Madhhabs, and they call it the Wahhabi Madhhab.

The answer for this is easy. All of you know that the Shaykh-did not come with an independent Madhhab. Rather in the issues of Fiqh he followed the Madhhab of Imam Ahmad ibn Hanbal.

And if he had a statement along with evidence that was more correct then he would follow that; even if it was not from the Hanbali Madhhab. This means he did not have partisanship to an individual, rather he went with the truth.

So he was Hanbali, but if the proof was with other than Imam Ahmad and in other than the Hanbali Madhhab then he would follow it.

And this is what Imam Ahmad orders with. He ordered (the people) to follow the evidence and for us not to merely take his statement or the statements of others. Imam Ahmad-said:

“It’s amazing that some people know the chain of narration, and know that it is authentic, but yet they leave it and go with the view of Sufyan and other than him.”

Who is Sufyan? He is Sufyan At Thawri-the noble Imam. He said: “They go with the view of Sufyan.” This means they leave the proof and they go with the view of a scholar. While Allah the Exalted said:

“So let those beware who dissent from the Prophet’s order, lest fitnah strike them or a painful punishment.” [Soorah An Nur 24:63]

Do you know what the fitnah is? The fitnah is Shirk. Perhaps if a person rejects some of the statements of the Messenger, deviance may fall into his heart and consequently he will be destroyed.

This is the statement of Imam Ahmad. Thus the Shaykh Muhammad ibn ‘Abdul Wahhab was upon the Madhhab of Imam Ahmad, the Imam of Ahlus Sunnah.

But he did not have blind partisanship to Ahmad. Rather when he found the proof with other than him he took the statement that was based upon the proof.

This is present in his Islamic rulings and his treatises. This is present, known and documented. And this is concerning the matters of Fiqh.

As for the matters of ‘Aqeedah then he was upon the ‘Aqeedah of the pious predecessors to include the companions, the Tabi’un, those who followed them, and the four Imams.

He did not adhere to only one Madhhab in Fiqh nor in ‘Aqeedah. His Madhhab was Hanbali and he was Salafi in his ‘Aqeedah.

He only said what the Imams before him said. He only gave verdicts based upon the evidence and the statements of the scholars before him. This is the methodology of the Imams, may Allah have mercy upon all of them.
