Khawarij have no scholars in their ranks, yet they belittle scholars!

Khawarij have no scholars in their ranks, yet they belittle scholars!

"The Khawarij are known to belittle the scholars as they did with Ibn Abbas regarding his clothing when he advised them" [al-Mustadrak 2713]

Therefore, the khawarij of today can't name a single scholar within their midst.
Indeed, Allah has humiliated them in both the worlds!

Not a single from the companions radhi allahu anhu existed in the ranks of the khawarij of the past! and in similar manner:
Not a single person of knowledge (scholar recognized as a scholar of ahl us sunnah) exists in their ranks today!

The Existence of the Ideology of the Khawaarij in Present Times - Shaykh Saalih al-Fawzaan {hafidhahullaah}

Question: Are those who carry the ideology of the Khawaarij present today?

Answer: Far removed is Allaah from all imperfections! And that which is happening today, is it not from the actions of the Khawaarij? And it is declaring the Muslims to be disbelievers, and more severe than that is the killing of the Muslims and transgressing against them through terrorist activities. And this is the manhaj of the Khawaarij, it comprises of three aspects:

Firstly - Takfeer of the Muslims.

Secondly - Disobedience to the ruler.

Thirdly - Making permissible the blood of the Muslims.

This is the manhaj of the Khawaarij, and even if a person believed it in his heart and did not speak (with any of it) or did not act out any of it, he would still become a Khaarijee in his belief and opinion, which he did not express openly.
