Do the people of the Sunnah declare the Khawarij and the Asha'irah to be disbelievers?

Question:
This questioner says: Honorable Shaykh, I read that the people of the Sunnah do not declare the Khawarij and the Asha'irah to be disbelievers because they have a figurative interpretation (ta'wil), even though declaring the blood of a Muslim lawful and denying the exaltation of Allah (Mighty and Majestic) is disbelief. So why did the Salaf declare the Jahmiyyah to be disbelievers, even though they also had a figurative interpretation? Please clarify this for us. May Allah reward you with good.

Answer:
They declared the Jahmiyyah to be disbelievers, or rather, most scholars declared the Jahmiyyah to be disbelievers, because the proof was established against them and they had no excuse. The evidence and proofs were made clear to them, but they rejected them. They spoke about them, and some of them even cursed the Qur'an and cursed the evidence. Therefore, they declared them to be disbelievers. As for their followers who thought they were on the right path and followed them without knowing their evidence, these people are excused until it is made clear to them. If it is made clear to them and they persist and oppose the truth after the clarification, then their ruling is the same as the ruling of those who came before them. Yes.
