Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. Those who divide the Murji'ah into four types—Murji'ah Khawarij, Murji'ah Tahiriyyah, Murji'ah Jabriyyah, and pure Murji'ah—is this division correct?

Answer:
The Khawarij are Murji'ah. The Khawarij are the opposite of the Murji'ah; there is a contradiction between them. The one who says this does not know the difference between the Khawarij. There is a contradiction and difference between them. But the Murji'ah, yes, they have different groups. Among them are the Jahmiyyah, who say that faith is merely knowledge, even if it is not accompanied by affirmation. Among them are the Asha'irah, who say that faith is merely affirmation, even if it is not spoken and even if no deeds are performed. Among them are the Karramiyyah, who say that faith is merely the utterance of the tongue, even if it is not believed in the heart. This is the view of the Karramiyyah. And among them are the Murji'ah of the jurists, who say that faith is belief in the heart and utterance of the tongue, and that deeds are not included in it. So the Murji'ah have different categories. Yes.
