Do the Khawarij become disbelievers?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original

The questioner : What is the stronger position...?

The Shaykh : By Allah, some scholars declared them disbelievers and said that they are disbelievers because the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said about them

Their faith does not go beyond their throats, and they emerge from Islam as an arrow emerges from its quiver.

إن إيمانهم لا يتجاوز حناجرهم وأنهم يمرقون من الإسلام كما يمرق السهم من الرمية

, and some said they do not become disbelievers because they engage in figurative interpretation. Ali ibn Abi Talib was asked about them, and he said: "They fled from disbelief". As for me, the issue has not yet been clarified for me. It was my intention to review it after the 'Asr prayer today, but I was occupied with other matters. Yes?
