The answer in brief

machinesummary, machine-written

Mufti Abu Layth says the Ibadis, an early and now peaceful offshoot of the Khawarij based in Oman, give a third tradition by which to cross-check claims, such as the Petra thesis.

In more detail

Asked his thoughts on Ibadism, Mufti Abu Layth says the Ibadis help form a kind of triangulation method in Islam alongside mainstream Sunnis and the Shia, because they are very early. He says they were a splinter of the Khawarij, a spectrum of factions, but the less extreme type, tracing themselves to the time of the Umayyads and to Jabir ibn Zayd, a student of the companions; they developed their own fiqh and fatwas and a small hadith collection, al-Jami al-Sahih [?], compiled some three hundred years later, and pray with the arms at the sides as the Malikis do. He says that in the early Umayyad period Khawarij in North Africa sought to kill Umayyads, which is why Abd al-Rahman ibn Mu'awiya avoided the region, and that over time, as an extreme minority, the Ibadis became a coexisting, peaceful people now found in Oman, an Ibadi state whose late Sultan Qaboos was widely praised. He says he would love to have an Ibadi shaykh on MindTrap, and that because Sunnis, Shia and Ibadis were all anti-Umayyad, they could never all have agreed to replace Makkah with another city, as the Petra thesis would require.
