Due to the prominence of the opposition of Ibn teymeyh's thoughts with other Islamic sects especially Orthodox Shia and by a consideration of religious sects approximation, creating unity, and removing incorrect thoughts in an unbiased way, we have tried to study several issues comparatively based on the traditions descended from Om-al-Salameh (supported by both sects). The conclusion is that Ibn Teymeyyah’s views, in some cases, are consistent with those of Orthodox Shia as follows: (1) the legitimacy of crying over the dead; (2) the legitimacy of pilgrimage; (3) the legitimacy of greeting and praying for the dead and the effect of the living on the dead. In some cases there is partial consistency as follows: (1) based on Ibn Teymeyyah’s views, invocation is limited to the life period; (2) he limits consecration to Kaaba only. There are some differences as well: (1) he limits the application of households members to the holy prophet; (2) he also limits the application of the special virtues such as chastity and superiority to the prophet; (3) he limits the application of foreknowledge to divine prophets; (4) he bans mourning for the dead; (5) he bans dirge; (6) he does not approve preparation for pilgrimage. The differences can be attributed to the different narrative sources of the two schools of thoughts.
