Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
We will show you this visitor who says: How is the Muslim community regarding the fact that Ibn 'Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him), when he looked at the Khawarij, returned from them, as he mentioned?
Answer:
Yes, the Khawarij are not all the same; there are Khawarij who follow without independent reasoning and Khawarij who are preachers. It is difficult for the preachers to return, but those who follow without independent reasoning, and those who were deceived by them and thought they were on the right path, these people usually return. They are not all the same, yes.
