The Sunni reading rests on the English article's infobox religion field ('Sunni Islam') together with Wikidata's religion (P140) value Sunni Islam (Q483654) — the infobox and its structured echo are one source family; the Arabic article's infobox has no religion field, no article text names a school for him, and the Arabic 'Saudi Sunni Muslims' category is a filing. The Hanbali reading rests on text alone: the English article's early-life passage says he studied Islam and Arabic 'focusing on sharia in the Wahhabi interpretation under the Hanbali school of jurisprudence' and learned the Quran under a cleric 'in the Wahhabi tradition' — that attests the school of his education, and formation never counts as a personal affiliation. The record therefore carries more paper than Khalid bin Abdulaziz's single Arabic infobox (wave 83, FLAGGED) but the same single family, so under the doubt rule the school is left unclassified.",
