Al-Sarkhi is a very controversial figure in Iraq. His opponents accuse him of holding unorthodox views on religious matters as well as ascribing to himself higher religious credentials and position than he actually possesses. He was arrested multiple times by the police. His many beliefs are against Shia Islam. So, opponents do not consider him a real Shia. Unlike other Shias he considers azadari and construction of shrines on graves as biddah. As per his opinion, the number of Imams is not fixed. But Islam Naab does not accept it. See also
