The khawaarij

· 18 Shaʻban 1437 AH1 min readEnglish

Question

In the details of the differences between Hazrat Ali (Radiyallahu Anhu) and Hazrat Muaawiyah (Radiyallahu Anhu) our opinon is that there was a ijtihadi difference. Hence whoever was right they will receive two rewards and the one in the wrong will receive a single fold reward. The query is why are the Muhakimiyyah/Khawaarij not afforded this choice, but rather they are branded as total outcasts, though not kafirs. I'd really appreciate your guidance in this matter.

Answer

The khawaarij have made it their religion to show hatred towards Hadhrat Uthman and Hadhrat Ali (radhiyallahu anhuma).

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
