Ibn Taymiyya supported giving broad powers to the state. In ''Al-siyasa al-Sharʿiyah'', he focused on duties of individuals and punishments rather than rules and procedural limits of authorities.<ref name=kadri-139 /> Suspected highway robbers who would not reveal their accomplices or the location of their loot, for example should be held in detention and lashed for indefinite periods.<ref name=kadri-139>{{cite book|last1=Kadri|first1=Sadakat|title=Heaven on Earth: A Journey Through Shari'a Law from the Deserts of Ancient Arabia ...|date=2012|publisher=macmillan|isbn=978-0-09-952327-7|page=139|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=ztCRZOhJ10wC&q=Heaven+on+Earth:+A+Journey+Through+Shari%27a+Law|access-date=2015-09-17|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200701104304/https://books.google.com/books?id=ztCRZOhJ10wC&printsec=frontcover&dq=Heaven+on+Earth%3A+A+Journey+Through+Shari%27a+Law|archive-date=2020-07-01|url-status=live}}</ref> He also allowed the lashing of imprisoned debtors, and "trials of suspicion" (''daʿsawī al-tuḥam'') where defendants could be convicted without witnesses or documentary proof.<ref name=kadri-139-40>{{cite book|last1=Kadri|first1=Sadakat|title=Heaven on Earth: A Journey Through Shari'a Law from the Deserts of Ancient Arabia ...|date=2012|publisher=macmillan|isbn=978-0-09-952327-7|pages=139–40|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=ztCRZOhJ10wC&q=Heaven+on+Earth:+A+Journey+Through+Shari%27a+Law|access-date=2015-09-17|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200701104304/https://books.google.com/books?id=ztCRZOhJ10wC&printsec=frontcover&dq=Heaven+on+Earth%3A+A+Journey+Through+Shari%27a+Law|archive-date=2020-07-01|url-status=live}}</ref>
Henri Laoust said that Ibn Taymiyya never propagated the idea of a single [[caliphate]] but believed the Muslim ummah or community would form into a confederation of states.{{sfn|Laoust|2012}} Laoust further stated that Ibn Taymiyya called for obedience only to God, and the Islamic prophet Muhammad, and he did not put a limit on the number of leaders a Muslim community could have.{{sfn|Laoust|2012}} However Mona Hassan, in her recent study of the political thoughts of Ibn Taymiyya, questions this and says Laoust has wrongly claimed that Ibn Taymiyya thought of the caliphate as a redundant idea.<ref name=":21">{{cite book|title=Ibn Taymiyya and His Times |last=Hassan|first=Mona|publisher=Oxford University Press|year=2010|isbn=978-0-19-547834-1|chapter=Modern Interpretations and Misinterpretations of a Medieval Scholar: Apprehending the Political Thought of Ibn Taymiyya.}}</ref> Hassan has shown that Ibn Taymiyya considered the Caliphate that was under the [[Rashidun Caliphate|Rashidun Caliphs]]; [[Abu Bakr]], [[Umar]], [[Uthman]], and [[Ali]], as the moral and legal ideal.<ref name=":21" /> The Caliphate in his view could not be ceded
