Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
May Allah reward you. Honorable Shaykh, there are some who claim to be among the people of knowledge and engage in declaring people disbelievers. Evidence from the Book and the Sunnah, as well as the statements of the scholars, has been presented to them, yet they continue to do so. Which category does this person fall into? May Allah reward you with good.
The Shaykh:
Or are they from the Khawarij? No.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
The Shaykh:
Or that they have two things: they declare Muslims to be disbelievers, and they rebel against the rulers.
