The jins al amal controversy is an intersalafi debate about basically irjaa. For example if a person does not pray at all, yet he belives prayer is obligatory and he is committing a major sin by not praying, is he a Muslim? The standard answer given by the najdi dawah is of course not. This relates to another, more controversial and thus more talked about issue, if a ruler puts in place a law that isn't shariah, but he belives inwardly that the shariah is better and it is obligatory to rule by shariah, is he a Muslim? Again the standard answer given by the najdi dawah is of course not.
The Madkhalis, following the lead of al Albani, took the other view, yes they are Muslim. I would say the salafi movement itself is pretty split on this, but what I call the najdi dawah isn't, Salih al Fawzan, Salih al Luhaydan, Abdurrahman bin Nasir al Barrack, Grand Mufti Abdulaziz aal ash Shaykh all still give the standard answer that the najdi dawah always had. However while the other opinion is based on irjaa, we don't call those who try to be salafi in everything but fall into an issue here and there murjis or innovators, it is only that their opinion is from irjaa.
