The current study seek to describe and analyze the relationship between Al-Sadir’s attitude and position and the creation of religious wars in the Middle East. Al-Sadir, consisting of seven sons, as the most important branch of the Al-Saud family, had specific ideas and patterns of behavior that played a significant role in creating and managing regional crises, including the war in Syria, Yemen, Lebanon and Iraq. The results of the study, while confirming Al-Sadr’s connection with Wahhabism, deny the religious nature of these wars and conflicts on the part of Saudi Arabia, and consider that the precedent in creating such conflicts and its management strategies are derived from tribal ideas. In general The foreign policy behavior of Al-Saud and Al-Sadr in particular has been shaped, and determines their interests is ruling family and the patrimonial person in the continuity and stability of the government, which can even violate religious principles and tribal rules.
