A criticism on the Wahabi view on the "similarity between Muslims and polytheists in the intermediation issue" from the Sunni viewpoint

The Wahhabi maintain that the Muslims by asking intermediation from the dead resemble the polytheists and we can issue a fatwa for killing them. Since they consider the saints who are dead incapable of doing anything and have no supernatural power. The Wahhabi believe that the Muslims who seek intermediation from the saints are just like the pagans worshipping the idols and believe in a kind of partner for the God. Contrary to the Wahhabi, the Sunni scholars maintain that according to the Quranic verses, narrations and the conducts of the early Muslims, we can say that intermediation is recommended in Islam. In this essay by an analytic- descriptive method, a comparison will be made between the Wahhabi school of thought and the Sunni main stream in this issue. It seems that the Sunni view is opposite to the Wahhabi viewpoint and we can not call those seeking intermediation from the saints pagans and it is a wrong comparison, because the pagans were believing in the deity of the idols but the those seeking intermediation consider the saints as the God's agents, maintaining that we must only worship the God.
