Abstract
Wahhabism and The Muslim Brotherhood are two Salaffist groups but have fundamental disagreement regarding the issue of governing. Wahhabism does not consider the issue of governing seriously. For them obeying a ruler, although a libertine one, is a must. On the other hand, the main goal of The Muslim Brotherhood is to establish a government so that the Islamic rules are preserved. They do not consider a government legitimate unless the Islamic rules are enforced. Wahhabism does not believe in new political procedures and especially in women’s vote, but the latter regards people as one of the major criteria for legitimacy of a government. And give them the right to elect and bring down governments.
