Wallace Waarithdeen is proclaimed a mujaddid by his followers.

Answer

Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) said that at the beginning of every century will come a Mujaddid. The Mujaddid's obligation is to weed out the bid'ah and haraam practices/beliefs which had crept into the Deen during the past century. He expounds the exact same Sunnah which existed during the Khairul Quroon (the first three noblest eras of Islam). He does not teach one new iota. On the contrary, he takes the Ummah back to the original and pure Sunnah.

The Mujaddid is recognized by senior Auliya and Ulama who are Auliya. However, there is no absolute evidence for claiming with certitude that a certain person is in fact the Mujaddid contemplated in the Hadith.

Should a man propagate anything contrary to the Shariah which has come down to us from the Sahaabah, he will immediately be exposed and rejected by the Ulama and the Ummah. The criterion is always the Shariah – not any new brand of 'shariah'. The original Shariah which is found in the kutub of the Fuqaha and the Mufassireen, is the criterion for judging and understanding the Islamic credentials of any person.

Wallace propagated an entirely new cult in conflict with the Deen which has been transmitted down the centuries by way of reliable and authentic narration, hence he is out rightly rejected as an imposter and charlatan masquerading as a Muslim and a 'mujaddid'. The talks of Wallace's supporters are too stupid and silly. Muslims, even laymen and ignoramuses all over the world will not accept the drivel he taught in the name of Islam. Yes, new Muslims in the U.S.A. are deluded by the false propagation of this cult.
