Hazimism, also referred to as the Hazimi movement or known as the Hazimiyyah[1] or Hazimi current,[2] was an extremist current within the Ideology of Islamic State. The movement was based on the doctrines of the Saudi-born Muslim scholar Ahmad ibn Umar al-Hazimi, which was adopted by many Tunisian recruits in IS. Hazimis believe that those who do not unconditionally excommunicate (takfir) unbelievers are themselves unbelievers, which opponents argue leads to an unending chain of takfir."[3][1] Its spread within ISIS triggered prolonged ideological conflict within the group, pitting its followers against the moderate faction led by Turki al-Binali.[2] The movement was eventually branded as extremist by ISIS, who initiated a crackdown on its followers.
