Our Position on Groups That Deviate from the Methodology of the Shaykh

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
A questioner asks: What is our position on the factions and groups that have deviated from the methodology of the Shaykh Muhammad ibn 'Abd al-Wahhab in this land, and called for rebellion against the one in authority, tearing apart the bonds of obedience, and inciting against him?

Answer:
Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He) says: "And do not dispute [among yourselves] and [thus] lose courage and your power will go. And be patient.
Indeed, Allah is with the patient.إِنَّ اللَّهَ مَعَ الصَّابِرِينَ
[Al-Baqarah 2:153]
And He (Exalted and Majestic is He) says:
And do not be like the ones who became divided and differed after the clear proofs had come to them. And those will have a great punishment.وَلَا تَكُونُوا كَالَّذِينَ تَفَرَّقُوا وَاخْتَلَفُوا مِن بَعْدِ مَا جَاءَهُمُ الْبَيِّنَاتُ وَأُولَٰئِكَ لَهُمْ عَذَابٌ عَظِيمٌ
[Ali 'Imran 3:105]
The truth is clear, and praise be to Allah, and the explanation is distinct. The source is the Book and the Sunnah, and the methodology of the righteous Salaf. No one can ever cast doubt on these principles and these references. And if someone does cast doubt, his doubt is always refuted against him and causes no harm. This speech does not harm the da'wah, nor does it harm the divine scholars; it does not harm them.
