Question
What is a Wahhaabi and a Salafi?
Answer
Wahhabi and a Salafi are two names for the followers of Muhammad Bin Abdul Wahhaab of Saudi Arabia. They do not subscribe to any of the four Math-habs. They have strayed from the Straight Path of the Ahlus Sunnah Wal Jama'ah. However, in India and Pakistan the Bid'atis label as Wahhaabis those who prohibit acts of grave-worship regardless of them not being Salafis. Hence, the Ulama of Deoband who eliminate bid'ah and grave worship are termed Wahhaabis by the Qabar Puja sect. This grave-worshipping sect in South Africa has the same meaning for Wahhaabi.
