Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: My brother has a sound creed, but he sympathizes with the Khawarij, and he says, "Every harm has a benefit," and that this killing and bombing is a mistake, but it is followed by abandoning and removing the evil. Is his statement correct?
Answer:
This is an invalid statement. The one who approves of these matters, the destruction, the killing of the innocent, the shedding of blood, the destruction of wealth, and the terrorizing of the safe, and says, "Every harm has a benefit," is minimizing it. I mean, its harm is greater than its benefit. And whatever its harm is greater than its benefit, if there is any benefit in it, it is forbidden. He admitted it; he said, "Every harm has a benefit." He admitted that its harm is greater than its benefit, if there is any benefit in it, in his claim. So this is not permissible. It is obligatory to warn against them.
It is obligatory to warn against these ideas, and it is obligatory to clarify that this is contrary to what Islam brought and what the sound creed brought. Yes.
