against him [the ruler that disbelieves] this consensus was mentioned more than once by the people of knowledge and amongst those who mentioned it was Al-Qadi Al Iyad, Hafidh Ibn Hajar, Imam Nawawi and many others, May Allah have Mercy on them.

say anything about them? As they are the people of truth and refuge in Allah is sought by them. They are the dogs of hellfire? Will someone dare to say that?

Al-Hafidh Ibn Hajar [may Allah have Mercy on his soul], the jurist of Al-Basra revolted against the rulers, the Imam Ash-Shabi rebelled, Imam Ibn Abi-Nitur revolted, the Imam Sa’id Ibn Jubayr rebelled and others amongst them rebelled against the rulers of their time, +
he came out and supported those who rebelled against the Abbasids, with money and young people.

said {“..It is like they got shot on the day of Badr..”} he said {“..Woe to me that I wasn’t in his place..”.} The same applies to Imam Malik [may Allah have Mercy on his soul], when he was asked about the permissibility of revolting against Al-Mansur in 145H he allowed the +
revolt, they told him {“..We pledged alligance, we have alliance to our neck with him [the ruler]..”}, He [Imam Malik] said “..rather you were forced, and there is no allegiance on the forced one…”. Imam Malik gave a legal opinion on this matter, the same for Imam Sha’fiee +
in his old school of law, he sees the permissibility to revolt against a tyrannical ruler.

Hanbali school of thought, the Imam Ahmad – may Allah have Mercy on him – in his time Imam Ahmad bin- Nasr Khuzzai rebelled against the ruler of his time, he rebelled with the sword and fought till he was killed. When they killed Imam Ahmad bin Nasr Khuzai as mentioned by Imam +
Ibn Katheer in Al-Bidayah Wa-Nihaya, “Imam Ahmad wept over him, and it was very sad for him, and this made him sad for a long time..”, and he said {“..may Allah have Mercy upon him, he certainly fought with his soul in the path of Allah..”}.

Ahmad about rebelling against the ruler in his time, he said {“..may Allah have Mercy upon him, he certainly fought with his soul in the path of Allah..”}, are they capable of this those who join false and wrong inside the school of law of Imam Ahmad today? Are they able to +
say those who rebel against one of these rulers, are they able to say of the rebellion said “..may Allah have Mercy upon him, he certainly fought with his soul in the path of Allah..”, or do they say, “..they are lost..”, “..they are amongst the dogs of the hellfire..”, and “+
..If it was not the fear of receiving the reproach of the Prophet sallallahu ‘alayhi wa salam I would have killed them..”, so weight between the two types of law. Fiqh of the Salaf, and Fiqh of the Khalaf [which joins false and wrong inside the Fiqh of Salaf].

If you join a people who have honour we say, [poem] You are right but what a bad childbirth, and the sermon on which it is based is not evident, and the children sermon have monopolised it. So here is the case of Imam Ahmad, and there is cases of others in the Ummah, +
Imam Abu Al-Arab At-Tamimi may Allah have Mercy upon him, rebelled against the ruler of his time, in the Islamic Maghrib, he is the author of the book “Al-Mihaan”, he died in the year 333H, but before that Imam Al-Jadda rebelled against the rulers of his time is. And amongst +
them we see the permissibility of rising against the unjust ruler is the Imam Ibn Hazm – may Allah have Mercy upon him – he did an explanation in his book ‘Al-Fisaal Milal wa fee Al-Nihal’, others who see the permissibility in Islam – Imam Al- Ghazzali who died in 505H, Imam +
Al-Jawzi amongst the Hanabillah and Ibn Al-Razil, Imam Ibn Aqeel who is a Hanabillah and other than them amongst the Ulema of Islam see the permissibility of revolting against a Fasiq rule

So no one who rebel against any ruler at any time is considered a Khawarij, this is not+
the criterion to judge an individual if he is part of a school of Khawarij or not. This is not the way of the people of Sunnah and consensus and this is not the criterion that was known at the time of the Salaf, May Allah be pleased with them all.

Therefore a Sunni can revolt against the ruler and the innovator, as well as the Shia can revolt against the ruler, the Khawarij rebelled against the ruler and even the Murji rebelled. Some Murji’ah that were contemporary to the Salaf as Dharr Al-Hamodani, the people of +
science warned against them, Sa’id Ibn Jubayr, may Allah be pleased with him, did not make salaam to him because of his Irjaa’, he warned against them because of his Irjaa’.
The Imam Ibrahim An-Nakha’ee, may Allah have Mercy on him, was an Imam who rebelled against Al-Hajjaj
+
The Imam Ibrahim An-Nakha’ee, may Allah have Mercy on him, was an Imam who rebelled against Al-Hajjaj
+
and also warned against Dharr Al-Hamoudi because of his Irjaa’, and yet he saw permisibility to affiliate the Murji’ah to rebel against Al-Hajjaj by the sword, this is the Murji’ah that were contemporary to the Salaf and this shows that anyone who rise against the ruler is
+
+
not qualified as what? As being part of the Khawarij. You will find a democrat revolting, a secular rebel, a communist, rises against the ruler, the secularist revolts also, these people are disbelievers, so are they fitting the legal condition of a Khawarij?
+
+
No one who rebels against the ruler is considered a part of the Khawarij but it is essential that he adheres to the principles of the Khawarij that was mentioned to you in this lesson, for which I ask Allah – The Exalted and Glorified -to bless and it is through this you +
will find that the accusation is invalid and it would be fair to say regarding the Murji’ah affiliated {“They are the Murji’ah with the rulers and the Sultan and Khawarij with the preachers and Mujahideen”}
+
+
You have learned most of the signs of a Khawarij and that many of the words of the Khawaij apply on the contemporary Murji’ah when dealing with preachers and Mujahideen, when dealing with the rulers and sultan, we will show by the agreement and the will of Allah and His +
grace and His word and His strength.
Allah is the Most High and knows Best, May Allah’s peace and blessings be with the one who He had sent down with the sword and not with the pen.
