Ibn Fayruz was a prominent Hanbali scholar from Hasa whose legal exegesis followed the prominent Hanbali scholars, especially Ibn Taymiyya and Ibn Qayim. Although Ibn Fayruz took his cue from the same Hanbali sources, he manifested great animosity toward the Wahhabi creed and toward Saudi political and military sway.
