Abstract
One of the issues that concerns the minds of Muslims from the very beginning of Islam was misunderstanding about the Takfir and accusing others to heresy. Some did not have enough knowledge from the pillars and principles of Islam and began accusing others to heresy. At the present time, this way of thinking is gaining attention as well, and even worse than before. In the present study and by descriptive and analytic method, the views of four main religious leaders in Sunni world and the Wahhabi school of thought is discussed. The main goal of this study is to find what is the difference between Wahhabi thought and the four main Sunni religious leaders in this case? The findings are as the following: Wahhabi school accuses the majority of Muslims to polytheism and blasphemy because of the following deeds: appealing from others, intermediation of humans to God, making a vow, sacrificing and taking an oath for someone other than God. They maintain that this kind of deeds are against the Tawhid and the doer of these kinds of acts must be considered non-Muslim. This way of thought is against the major Sunni religious leaders, maintaining that these kinds of deeds are permissible in Islam and we must not accuse others to blasphemy.
