Category The Khawaarij

The Khawaarij is a vigilante based sect within Islam whose basic ideology can be surmized into three main tenets.

Imaam Abu Hayyaan al-Andaloosee described the way of the Khawaarij concerning the aayatul hukm when he said:
“So the Khawaarij seek to prove with this aayah that everyone who disobeys Allaah is a disbeliever! They say: ‘It is a text showing that everyone who does not rule by what Allaah revealed is a disbeliever and everyone who sins, indeed he rules by other than what Allaah revealed. So it is incumbent that he be a disbeliever.” [Bahr al-Muheet]

al Qurtubi explains in his Tafseer:
“And the Madhhab of the Khawaarij is that the one who takes bribes in judgment and judges by OTHER than what Allah has revealed is a KAAFIR(i.e. with “major” kufr”. (2/191)

Saalih al-Fawzan said quite equivocally that
“When an individual holds it permissible to revolt against the Muslim rulers, and more severe than that is to declare them to be disbelievers. This is the madhab of the Khawaarij.” [Al-Ijaabaat al-Muhimmah fee Mashaakil il-Mudlahimmah]

Shaykh Saalih al-Fawzaan was asked

Question:

In these days, there are some [individuals] who give ruling of the obligation of Jihaad and say that the Imaam and the Banner are not conditional for Jihaad. So what is the view of your graciousness regarding this speech?

في هذه الأيام هناك من يفتي الناس بوجوب الجهاد ، ويقول لا يُشترط للجهاد إمام ولا راية ، فما رأي فضيلتكم في هذا الكلام ؟

Answer:

This is the view of the Khawaarij. The one who desires then let him go to the thought of the Khawaarij and let him go away with this one that gives the ruling. The Banner is essential and so is the Imaam, this is the methodology of the Muslims from the time of the Messenger of Allaah (صلى الله عليه وسلم ), as for the one who gives the ruling that there is no [need for an] Imaam nor the Banner, all of this from his desire, it is the view of the Khawaarij.

الشيخ الفوزان حفظه الله :
هذا رأي الخوارج ، الذي يحب يذهب لرأي الخوارج يروح مع هذا الذ
ي يفتي .
لابد من راية ، ولابد من إمام ، هذا منهج المسلمين من عهد رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم.
فالذي يفتي بأنه لا إمام ولا راية ، وكلٌ بهواه ، هذا رأي الخوارج

the point of this fatwa was signifying that kharijiyyah is based on vigilantism and not based on the command of Allah, the command of Rasulullah, the command of those in authority over us as Allah says in His book “ya ayhalladhina amanu ‘atiullh wa ‘atiu rasul wa ulil amri minkoom”
the structure of the muslim is this formula, which is Obey Allah, Obey the Messenger, and those in authority over us whereas the structure of the khawaarij is being renegades, doing what they want to do at the expense of the rule of Allah.

The pivotal points of what makes a khariji is basically that
1. They view a matter to be apostasy when in reality it is not apostasy and because of they have a narrow and secluded viewpoint, they see what they view to be apostasy and thus make takfir of Muslims who have not apostated in reality, but only according to their wahm (delusion).
2. Claiming the forefront or banner of revolution (in the name of jihaad). Among the signs of their true reality is that for each physical campaign they perform, it not only fails, but brings about more fitnah, bloodshed, and at the end of the day an even greater enemy of Allah comes to power and makes the life of the Muslims who were not involved with the fitnah of the khawaarij even worse than what it was before.

3. The last pillar of kharijism is the disobedience of authority. And the way they perform this by deceiving the Muslims is to lay claim the the one in charge has not ruled by the rule of Allah just as Dhul-Quwasirah did with the prophet himself. This is why you find more sects among the madhaab of the khawaarij than any other sect, because their madhaab is based on desires and once one of the followers is displeased with the head khariji innovator due to his natural inherently inclined stance of not following orders, and then he splits off and forms a new satanic faction.

The history of Kharijite Islam is a broad one and it incorperates many sects.
