The approach of Ibn Taymiyya and Salafis regarding the martyrdom of Imam Hussain (a.s.): Farmanian explained

Referring to the suspicion raised by Wahhabis that “Imam Hussain (a.s.) was killed by Shiites”, the expert on sects and denominations explained, “Ibn Taymiyya took a dual approach to the Karbala affair: on the one hand, accepting the martyrdom of Imam Hussain (a.s.), and on the other hand, blaming the Kufis for this murder and whitewashing Yazid.”
