Is it permissible to pray over and offer condolences for those killed among the rebels and the Khawarij?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: Is it permissible for me to pray over those killed among the rebels and the Khawarij, and to go to their families' homes to offer condolences?

Answer:
In any case, one prays over a Muslim; a Muslim is prayed over, even if he killed himself, or if he killed one of the Muslims, provided that this does not make him a disbeliever. As long as he does not become a disbeliever, he is prayed over. As for offering condolences to his family, this is a matter of concern, because it encourages this action and involves a bad opinion of you. So do not go to them, and do not offer them condolences in this matter. Yes.
