Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, what is the difference between the Khawarij and the rebels?

Answer:
The Khawarij are those who rebel based on an unacceptable interpretation, an unacceptable one, like the Khawarij. As for the rebels, they are those who rebel based on an acceptable interpretation, but they have no proof for it; it is a correct interpretation, but they took it up even though it is not for them, thinking it suits them. This is the difference between them: an acceptable interpretation, but it does not suit their opinion. As for the Khawarij, they have no interpretation at all, neither acceptable nor unacceptable. Yes.
