The Ruling on Cursing the Khawarij

Question:
May Allah reward you. Honorable Shaykh, the questioner asks: Is it permissible to curse the living Khawarij, or those of them who have died?

Answer:
Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He) has cursed the disbelievers, , and He has cursed , so we invoke the curse of Allah upon the wrongdoers, and He has cursed the liars, so we invoke the curse of Allah upon the liars. 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 held regarding them. Whoever holds that they are disbelievers, their ruling is the ruling of disbelievers, and 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 subject to warning; they are subject to warning, and they are not cursed. Rather, they are warned, and their misguidance and its danger are clarified to the people, and efforts are made to bring them back to the truth and to return to the right path.
