However, the validity of the allegation against him is still regarded as a polemic that has not been settled.

This qualitative study uses a variety of primary and secondary sources to analyze the the issue. The results showed that the attitude of takfir (disbelieve) related to Muhammad Abd al-Wahhab against some of the Islamic scholars who were being contrary to his believe, would be difficult to deny. This is because most of his statement regarded to the issue derived originally from various his own treatises and books. The study also concluded that his thought on the issue is abviously contrary to the Islamic point of views which is always call for unity of Muslims, tolerance and moderation in what ever matter concerning ijtihad (independent reasoning). Thus, it is believed that the flow of his thought is not practicable to Islamic contemporary society today.
