This body of scholars continued to reject theology in favor of strict textualism well after Ash'arism had infiltrated the Sunni schools of law. It is for these reasons that we must delineate the existence of a distinctly traditionalist, anti-theological movement, which defies strict identification with any particular ''[[Fıkhi mezhepler|madhhab]]'', and therefore cannot be described as Hanbalite.}}</ref> Takipcileri tükenmiș sayılır.
