Abstract
The Kharijites are cited as the first sect in the history of Islam to initiate takfir and terrorist acts. According to them, if a believer who has committed a “big sin” does not repent, he will immediately become a disbeliever and will be required to be executed. There are some contradictions in the sources regarding this concept, which comes as “murtakib al-kabira”. Imam Maturidi, based on many reasonable and traditional arguments, proved that the views of Kharijites regarding the “murtakib al-kabira” contradicted reason and the Qur’an. In addition to quoting Imam Maturidi’s definition of “grave sin”, the article analyzes the views expressed by the scholar against the thoughts of Kharijites in this regard.
