Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah suffice him in this. Are the Khawarij disbelievers, inferred from the saying of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), "then they do not return to it"?
Answer:
The issue of declaring the Khawarij disbelievers is a matter of scholarly disagreement. The correct view, which is the position of the majority, is that they are not disbelievers, but rather misguided and mistaken. They fight because of their rebellion and their transgression against the Muslims, to repel their evil. Yes. As for their emerging from the religion, "emerging" varies; it may be a complete emergence, which is disbelief, or a partial emergence. The correct view, which is the position of the majority, is that the Khawarij are not disbelievers, but rather one of the misguided sects. Yes. They do not return to the right path and to rectitude, but rather they remain upon their belief. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you
