Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. This questioner asks: Are the Khawarij in our time considered to be from the descendants of Dhu al-Khuwayssirah?

Answer:
They are his followers, not his descendants. They do not have to be from his descendants; they are from his followers. The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
They will emerge from this…يخرج من ضئ هذا
meaning they are from his followers.
