Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, if I find one of the Khawarij on the road, is it permissible for me to kill him?
Answer:
No, it is not permissible for you to kill him. That is chaos. Only the one in authority fights them, just as the Commander of the Faithful, 'Ali ibn Abi Talib (may Allah be pleased with him), fought them. The caliphs after him fought them. Individuals or groups do not fight the Khawarij or anyone else except with the permission of the one in authority. It is a matter of chaos. Yes, if you kill and your killing... or if you kill your brother or your father, it becomes chaos. Yes.
