What is your view on the Wahhabi sect?

some good some bad, and for the good ones sect is not an appropriate word.

Al-Azhar President Dr. Ahmad ʿUmar Hashim’s 2001 fatwa againt the Ahbash

In August 2001 the president of the University of al-Azhar in Egypt, Dr. Ahmad ʿUmar Hashim, issued a statement in which he announced that al-Azhar had nothing to do with the Ahbash of Lebanon and he stated that the position of al-Azhar was that “that group [the Ahbash] is unwholesome, untrustworthy, and unislamic in its thinking.”

Fatwa of the Mufti of Saudi Arabia against al-Harari and the Ahbash

In conformity with all of the above even the mufti of Saudi Arabia in 1985 issued a fatwa in which he said: “That group is deviant and their leader, a person named ʿAbd Allah al-Habashi, is known for his heresy and misguidance. Therefore it is obligatory to have no relations with them and to reject and condemn their false beliefs and to warn people against them and against listening to them or accepting anything they say.”

Conclusion: Warn people against al-Harari and the Ahbash

It is clear to anyone that al-Harari and his sect disrespect the Companions of the Prophet (upon him blessings and peace) and attack the scholars with false accusations of kufr. He and his Ahbash-AICP sect are Kharijites who practice takfirism on the one hand, and they are Shiʿis who calumniate the Companions on the other. They practice taqiyya or dissimulation by outwardly claiming to be something which inwardly they are not, as Dr. Ali Gomaa warned concerning them. What shows their mindless audacity in nifaq against the Ummah is that on their webpage they claim to “counter any form of extremism that allows the killing of innocents, and it is clear of any connections to any form of deviations or extremism” whereas in reality this is exactly what they are—deviant extremists. In fact, as Dr. Gomaa, Dr. Wahbat Zuhayli, and others have warned, they are an infiltrated current in the Ummah trying to divide and undermine the unity of Ahl al-Sunnah wal-Jamaʿah on a permanent basis.

It is enough that after Hudhayfa (Allah be well-pleased with him) asked, “Is there any evil after that goodness?” the Prophet Muhammad (upon him blessings and peace) replied: “Yes, callers standing at the gates of hellfire! Whoever responds to them and comes to those gates, they throw him into it.” Hudhayfa said: “Messenger of Allah, describe them for us.” He said: “They have the same complexion as we do and they speak our language.” It is agreed upon by al-Bukhari and Muslim. Therefore beware of al-Harari and of his sect the Ahbash and the Association of Islamic Charitable Projects (AICP). Our only duty is to warn, and Allah is our help. May Allah send blessings and peace on our master Muhammad, his Family, and his Companions, and praise belongs to Allah the Lord of the worlds.
