Is it a condition for ruling that a man is one of the Khawarij that he possesses all of their characteristics?

Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is it necessary for the ruling that the Khawarij are Khawarij that all the mentioned characteristics apply to them, such as their shaving of the head, their belittling of your prayer in comparison to their own, and other such characteristics? So is it necessary for all of them to be present together?

Answer:
No, the Khawarij are those who hold the belief of the Khawarij, whether they possess their outward characteristics or not. The discussion is about the belief, not about the characteristics. But these are merely signs; these are signs. However, the criterion is the belief. If one sees the declaration of disbelief against the people of major sins and their eternal abode in the Fire, that is the doctrine of the Khawarij. Or if one sees rebellion against the Imam of the Muslims, that is the doctrine of the Khawarij. If one considers the blood of Muslims to be permissible to shed, that is the doctrine of the Khawarij. Yes.
