Muhammad ibn Abd al-Wahhab (Arabic: مُحَمَّدٌ بْنُ عَبْدِ ٱللَّهَابِ) was a Sunni scholar from Saudi Arabia and the creator of the Wahhabi movement.Sources: He was a follower of the Hanbali madhab and he promoted that every Muslim should study the Qur'an and hadith instead of blindly following the scholars and making independent fatwas. He took inspiration from Ibn Taymiyyah and started to heavily reform the religion by not following medieval rulings.Sources:
