Methodic Examination and Discovering the Varieties of Fallacy in the Wahhabis’ Criticisms against Shi’ism

Criticism is one of the influential ways for evaluation of views and thoughts and discerning the strong and weak points of the authors’ works. Using this way one can distinguish between wright and wrong. Amongst the ways of criticism, the methodic criticism is of many priorities. Written in a descriptive-analytic method and on the basis of library sources, this research is based on this hypothesis that the Wahhabis specially the author of the book ‘Uṣūlu Madhhab al-Shi’a committed fallacies in many cases because of incorrect hypotheses, revenge and jealousy, cultural difference, scholarly weakness and so on. The examination shows that the book ‘Uṣūlu Madhhab al-Shi’a, instead of using scientific method, used fallacies of personal attack, lie, inadequate generalization, distortion, incorrect interpretation, fabricated cause, claim of improvisation, resorting to false source, provoking emotions and allegorical fallacy and did not use a scientific method to criticize Shi’ism.
