The Ruling on the Khawarij
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Peace be upon you. What is the ruling on the Khawarij?
The Shaykh:
The scholars of knowledge hold that they are open sinners, people of major sins who deserve to be killed. Some scholars of knowledge said that they are disbelievers; based on the statement of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) that they pass by the religion of Islam, then do not return to it. The statement that they are disbelievers is more apparent in the surface of the hadiths. Yes.
The questioner:
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
The Shaykh:
Because they made lawful the blood of Muslims, they fought Ali, and they fought the Muslims. Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) killed them.
The questioner:
From Ali ibn Abi Talib, it is from disbelief.
The Shaykh:
This is their independent legal reasoning. They claimed that they fled from it, but they fell into it. May Allah make them ugly.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you,
