A brother asked me to post a question on his behalf. He told me a young brother is interested in the salafi da'wah, however he is unsure wether the da'wah is correct, due to some things he has heard about Imam Muhammad ibn Abdul Wahhab (Rahimahullah) and his da'wah. The question is:
" How do we refute the claim that Imam Muhammad ibn Abdil Wahhab rebelled against the Ottoman Khilafah, thus resembling the khawarij, who rebel against the rightful muslim ruler on account of a sin? "
He would like a good answer from one of the knowledgable brothers, so he could pass it on to this brother.
