The Khawarij: Their Definition and Their Condition

Question:
Shaykh, this questioner says: I would like the Shaykh to define the Khawarij, their beliefs, and who they claim to belong to?

Answer:
The Khawarij are an old sect that appeared during the time of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). May Allah grant you a good evening. When one of them said to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), "Be just, for you are not being just," the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Woe to you! Who will be just if I am not just?" The matter of the Khawarij developed after the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) during the era of the Rightly Guided Caliphs. They killed, they killed 'Umar ibn al-Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him), they killed 'Ali ibn Abi Talib, and they continue to fight the Muslims. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) ordered to fight them. He said, "Wherever you encounter them, kill them." "If I were to find them, I would kill them, a killing like the killing of 'Ad." Because they are . But the one who carries out their killing is the one in authority, in organizing the fighting and organizing jihad in the path of Allah. Yes.
