The Khawaarij

Q: Can you please inform me what group exactly is the "khawaarij" and who are they? What are their characteristics? Do they still exist today? What is the definition of khawaarij? And I heard many people saying that the group Isil falls under the khawaarij. Is this true?

A: Khawaarij is an extremist group who fought against the Sahaabah (radhiyallahu anhum). Some of their beliefs are also extreme. They declare a sinner to be a kaafir.

We have not researched this.

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