Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, the questioner asks: Is it permissible to curse the Khawarij who are alive, or those of them who have died?
Answer:
Allah (Exalted and Majestic) cursed the disbelievers,[Al-Ahzab 33:64] and He cursed the wrongdoers. Upon the wrongdoers. And He cursed the liars. [Ali 'Imran 3:61]. So we curse those whom Allah and His Messenger have cursed. We curse those whom Allah and His Messenger have cursed.
As for the Khawarij, this is based on the opinion regarding them. Whoever holds that they are disbelievers, their ruling is the ruling of disbelievers. They fall under the curse. The curse of Allah is upon the disbeliever. As for whoever holds that they are not disbelievers, but rather are from the people of misguidance, these people are under the warning. They are under the warning. They are not cursed. Rather, they are pointed out as being in error, and their misguidance and error are made clear to the people, and they are called to repentance and to returning to the truth.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you
