Shaikhul Islaam Ibn Taymiyyah (rahimahullaah) said:
And likewise the khawaarij are a people of the sword and fighting. Their opposition to the Jamaa’ah became clear when they fought the people. As for today many of the people do not know them (i.e. due to their characteristics being different etc).
Shaikh Rabee Bin Haadi (may Allaah preserve him) said:
”Indeed, the Fitnah of this man(1) and those with him is the Fitnah of this era. It is the severest fitnah in this era; because it (falsely) wears the garb of the Salafi Methodology (i.e. falsely attributes itself to Salafiyyah) (2)
A Reply to the Doubts of Qutubiyyah on Ascription to the Sunnah and Salafiyyah
Imaam Barbahaaree (rahimahullaah) stated in Sharh- As Sunnah:
‘It is permissible to fight the Khawaarij if they attack the wealth of the Muslims, or the Muslims and their families, but if they are dispersed, then the Muslim Ruler is not to seek after them, nor are their wounded to be killed, nor is booty taken from them, nor may those taken captive be killed, nor are those who flee to be pursued.’
And regarding the saying of Imaam Barbahaaree (rahimahullaah): ‘It is permissible to fight the Khawaarij if they attack the wealth of the Muslims, or the Muslims and their families;’ because the Prophet (sallal-laahu-alayhi-wasallam) commanded that they are to be fought, and because Ali (radiyallaahu-anhu) fought them when they attacked and killed Abdullaah Ibn Khabbaab al Arrat and ripped open the stomach of his pregnant wife. So Ameerul Mumineen Ali (radiyallaahu-anhu) decided to fight them as they brought about a good reason to be fought against.
And regarding the saying of Imaam Barbahaaree (rahimahullaah): ‘But if they are dispersed, then the Muslim leader is not to seek after them’ If they desist from fighting, the ruler is not to chase them, nor carry out a military expedition against them, as long as they do not commit acts of transgression. And no doubt they are misguided and are to be advised in hope that they may return (repentant) and are not fought.
And regarding the saying of Imaam Barbahaaree (rahimahullaah): ‘Nor are their wounded to be killed’; because the evil of the injured person is curtailed.
And regarding the saying of Imaam Barbahaaree (rahimahullaah): ‘Nor is booty to be taken from them’, meaning: their wealth is not to be taken as war booty; because it is the wealth of the Muslims.
And regarding the saying of Imaam Barbahaaree (rahimahullaah): ‘Nor may those taken captive be killed’ because they are Muslims, and by being injured and taken as captive their evil is curtailed.
And regarding the saying of Imaam Barbahaaree (rahimahullaah): ‘Nor are those who flee to be pursued’. If they flee, the leader is to leave them alone and not go after them as their evil is curtailed.

Imaam Muhammad Ibn Saaleh Al-Uthaymeen (rahimahullaah) said:
أي إنسان يرمي المعتدلين بالإرجاء فإنه يميل إلى رأي الخوارج
Any person who accuses the upright (scholars) of Irjaa, then indeed he is inclined towards the view of the khawaarij.
The Imaam (rahimahullaah) also said:
ولا أعلم عن الألباني قول يدل على أنه من أهل الإرجاء
بل هو سلفيٌ،سنيٌ،محدث،قل أن يوجد في عصره مثله
And I do not know of a statement from Albaani (which) indicates that he is from the people of Irjaa; rather he is a Salafi, a Sunni, a Muhaddith. It is rare to find someone like him in his era.
Question to Shaikh Saaleh Al-Fawzaan (may Allaah preserve him)
(Do you have) an advice for the one who speaks ill of the people of knowledge–those who establish refutation against the one who opposes the Book of Allaah and the Sunnah of His Messenger (sallal-laahu-alayhi-wasallam)?
Answer:
It is (obligatory) upon him to repent to Allaah (The Might and Majestic) because he dislikes the truth.. Refutation against the people of falsehood is the truth. Clarifying the mistake of those who commit mistakes in knowledge is the truth. Clarification is obligatory. This (person) wants to conceal. This (person) wants to conceal knowledge, so it is (obligatory) upon him to repent and seek Allaah’s Forgiveness.
