The followers of Ziyad ibn al-Asfar are called. Ash'ari believes that the main sects of the Khawarij are the four sects of Arqa, Ibadi, Najdi and Safariyya, and the rest of the sects are offshoots of Safariyya. This group does not consider it permissible to kill the children and women of their opponents. Three theories emerged among this group regarding the sinner being an infidel and a polytheist, which led to the emergence of three sub-sects. Some of them, like Arqa, consider committing any sin to be a sin of disbelief and polytheism. Others believe that if someone commits a sin such as adultery or theft that has a legal penalty, that person is called an adulterer or a thief, not an infidel; an infidel is only someone who commits a sin such as leaving the prayer that does not have a legal penalty. Others consider a person who has been sentenced to a legal penalty by a religious authority as an infidel.
