The Description of the Khawarij and When a Man Is Called a Khariji

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh:
The Khawarij, and they may be few, or they may be many. But the Khawarij, because they transgress the limits, they are pleasing to Islam, and they are hypocrites. According to the majority, they are spies; according to the others, they are disbelievers, because they declared the Muslims to be disbelievers, they considered their blood lawful, and they became disbelievers. They emerge from the religion and do not return to it. And their mention is little, rather it is in their ugly actions and their reprehensible deeds.

The questioner:
When is a man called a Khariji?

The Shaykh:
If he does it, he declares people to be disbelievers for sins. Leaving the ruler is called being a Khariji. The Khariji position is to expose people from their sins. They force them to be in the Fire. This is a Khariji.

The questioner:
May Allah reward you. The Khawarij in the time of 'Ali did not hold the belief of declaring people to be disbelievers, but they rebelled against him.

The Shaykh:
After they killed him, they declared him a disbeliever, they killed him, they killed Ahmad, and it became obligatory, one of them,

The questioner:
But may Allah reward you, did they hold that you, how? By the major sin.

The Shaykh:
Among them, in one of the Khawarij? And if he sees in one of them the cause of disbelief, he separates, and if he sees in the branch his disbelief, let him separate or we do not return to it.
