Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Shaykh, is the Khariji the one who says it is obligatory to rebel against the rulers, or the one who says it is permissible in general to rebel against the rulers?
Answer:
It is all the doctrine of the Khawarij. The one who holds this belief is a Khariji. The one who holds this belief and commands it is more severe. The one who holds this belief, commands it, and carries weapons is even more severe. So the Khawarij have levels. Among them are the Khawarij al-Qa'dah, who hold the belief of the Khawarij but do not command it or carry weapons; they only believe it and consider it correct. These are the Khawarij al-Qa'dah. As for those who carry weapons or call people to this, they are more severe than the Khawarij al-Qa'dah. Yes.
