Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: Is it permissible to rule that a specific person is a Khariji, who is the one who makes this ruling, and what is the criterion in this matter?
Answer:
If a person exhibits the characteristics of the Khawarij, we rule that he is specifically a Khariji, because he did what the Khawarij did, held their belief, and how he carried out their actions, attacked with their weapons, and established their doctrine. We say this is what leads to ruling that he is specifically a Khariji; he is ruled to be specifically a Khariji, his leg, his nose, and all of him.
