Do the Ibadis follow the Sufi sect?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: Is the Ibadi sect a branch of the Sufi path?

Answer:
The Ibadis are Khawarij (an early sect that declared sinners disbelievers) from among the Khawarij. They have an extreme view beyond the Khawarij's position. They declare a person a disbeliever for committing a major sin, other than shirk (associating partners with Allah), and they hold that the sinner will remain in the Fire forever. They follow the path of the followers of 'Abdullah ibn Abbad al-Rasbi. These are from the Khawarij, a sect of the Khawarij. They say the Qur'an is created. They say the Qur'an is created, following the position of the Jahmiyyah (a sect that denied the divine attributes). They combined the position of the Jahmiyyah with the position of the Khawarij. Yes.
