From al-Malfudh Sharīf:
Question
Is it permissible to say, “May Allah Almighty give hidāyah to the Wahābī?”
Answer
Du’ā of hidāyah for the Wahābīs is fruitless. It is clearly stated:
[1] Imām Ahmad bin Hambal’s, Musnad, Hadith 11374, narrated by Sayyidunā Abī-Sa’īd al-Khud’rī rađiyAllāhu ánhu.
[2] al-Qur’ān al-Karīm: Surah al-An’ām, Ayah 28.
Question
Is it permissible to say, “May Allah Almighty give hidāyah to the Wahābī?”
Answer
Du’ā of hidāyah for the Wahābīs is fruitless. It is clearly stated:
Then they will not return [to Iman].[1]
A Wahabhi will never return from his Kufr. All those who were misled by the Wahābī and later repented by making Towbah, were actually not Wahābīs. The hard-core Wahābīs deceitfully lured these simple people away from Islām. On the Day of Reckoning, the Kuf’fār will say, ‘Send us back to the duniyah so that we may bring Iman.’ Allāh Almighty states:
And were they to be sent back, they would commit the same which they were forbidden to, and undoubtedly they are liars.[2]
