Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, which is more severe and dangerous: the methodology of the Murji'ah or the methodology of the Khawarij?
Answer:
Both are dangerous, and both are severe, but the methodology of the Khawarij may be lighter, because it is closer to staying away from sins and being cautious of sins. It is also closer to repentance, because fear drives one to repent. However, the methodology of the Murji'ah leads to laxity and indifference toward sins, and it breaks the will to repent, so it is more dangerous. Yes.
