The Ruling on the Khawarij and the Distinction Between Them and the Da'esh
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: May Allah reward you. Are the Khawarij disbelievers, and are those called Da'esh now considered Khawarij, or is there a difference between them?
Answer:
The Khawarij are not disbelievers, but they are misguided. 'Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) was asked about them, and he said: "Are they disbelievers?" He said: "They fled from disbelief. They did not do this except because they hate disbelief and fled from it, but they did not choose the correct path to escape from disbelief and the enemies. They took a path other than the correct path, so they remained, may Allah protect us, and whoever follows their path—I do not say Da'esh, nor do I say that everyone who follows the path of the Khawarij is one of them. By whatever name he is called, he is one of them. By whatever name he is called? Yes.
