The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The questioner asks: What is the stronger position among the scholars regarding the Khawarij? Are they disbelievers or not?
The Shaykh:
By Allah, this issue requires careful consideration and verification, yes.
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh.
The Shaykh:
In any case, they are to be fought. In any case, the Companions fought them; the Rightly Guided Caliph fought them, and the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) ordered their fighting. There is no doubt that they are to be fought, yes.
