After re-establishing Saudi power, Abdulaziz revived Wahhab Islam as the official ideology.

The Wahhab family reunited with the Saudi family and used marriage to consolidate the political system of the Saudi state with religious and secular unity.

Abdulaziz established institutions to enforce Wahhab principles.

These institutions are headed by Abdul Aziz ibn Abdul Latif Al-Sheikh, whose key members include members of the Wahhab family, Abdul Rahman ibn Ishaq Al-Sheikh, Omar ibn Hassan Al-Sheikh and Abdul Latif Al-Sheikh.

The official religious-political system led by the Wahhab family also includes the establishment of religious-political institutions in towns such as Riyadh, which are usually also headed by members of the Wahhab family.

In the year the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia's "Association for the Issuance of Religious Legal Opinions and Monitoring of Religious Affairs" was established by Sheikh Mohammed, a member of the Wahhab family.

Ben Ibrahim Sheikh served as Chairman.

During the year, the "Association for the Publication of Legal Opinions on Religions and the Supervision of Religious Affairs" issued a Fetva issue, mainly dealing with religious ceremonies, theocratic issues, the status of women and personal affairs.

However, the number of members of the Wahhab family holding high-level religious positions has gradually declined.

One reason for this is that members of the Wahhab family usually have only one wife or at most two wives, so the number of male descendants of the Wahhab family is much smaller than that of the Saudi family.

Moreover, after Muhammad Ali conquered the Arabian Peninsula at the beginning of the century, a branch of the Wahab family was exiled to Egypt, and the descendants of this branch of the Wahhab family never returned to Saudi Arabia, and most of them now live in Egypt.

These two factors have led to a gradual decrease in the number of descendants of the Wahhab family in Saudi Arabia, and there is a significant balance of power between the family and the Saudi family.

Due to the decline in the number of descendants of the Wahhab family, the number of marriages between the Wahab family and the Saudi family has also decreased significantly.

The historical alliance between the two families, which was linked by marriage, was weakened.

Another reason is that with the development and openness of society, the way Wahab members live has changed, and some Wahab family members have chosen personal development prospects beyond religious professions.

For example, Abdo.

Al-Ah ibn Abd al-Rahman Al-Sheikh became Abd al-Rahman, a general of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

Sheikh became an extreme Nasser politician.

Senior religious positions in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia are no longer held exclusively by the Wahhab family.

Only three of the Kingdom's leading Olema leaders were members of the Wahhab family, but they still held three of the most important positions: Grand Mufti of Saudi Arabia, deputy of the Grand Mufti, and head of the Saudi Arabian Public Ethics Commission.

Following the death of Mufti Muhammad ibn Ibrahim ibn Abd al-Latif Sheikh, the number of members of the Wahhab family holding religious authority decreased further.

The reform of the official religious-political institutions dealt an even greater blow to the power of the Wahhabs.

The judicial power of the Grand Mufti was replaced by the Ministry of Justice, and the independence of the official religious forces was further lost, and the religious power of the Olema was completely subordinated to the ruling power of the Saudi family.

In part, the establishment of the "Council of Elders of Olemma" marked the end of the era of the Wahhab family in Saudi history.

The "Council of Elders of Olema" exercises the highest religious authority in the State, is the highest religious institution of the official Wahhab sect, and is the supreme authority of Islamic law in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

The membership of the non-Wahab family of Abdul Aziz ibn Abdul al-Ibn Baz of the Council of Elders of Oulema is an important symbol of the decline of the political power of the Wahhab family, and the further control of the Saudi family over the religious politics of the kingdom.

The Council of Elders of Olema consists of only Ibrahim, ibn Muhammad ibn Ibrahim.

The Sheikhs are descendants of the Wahab family.

The subsequent establishment of the "Standing Committee on Religious Proclamations" was also composed of Abdul Aziz ibn , a member of the non-Wahab family.

Abdul Ala. Ibn. Buzz is the chairman.

The Saudi royal family also appointed the famous Olema to form the "Religious Studies, Shariah Propaganda and Steering Committee", still composed of Abdul Aziz ibn Abdul Alah, who is not a member of the Wahab family.

Ibn Baz holds the supreme leadership.

Only one of the Committee's named members is a member of the Wahab family.

'The loss of control over the most important religious authority in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia by members of the Wahhab family is in fact a means by which the Saudi family monopolizes the highest political power in the kingdom to the exclusion of other important forces and power groups.
