Hazimism, also referred to as the Hazimi movement or known as the Hazimiyyah^[1] or Hazimi current,^[2] was an extremist movement within the ideology of Islamic State. The movement was based on the doctrines of the Saudi-born extremist Ahmad ibn Umar al-Hazimi, which was adopted by many Tunisian recruits within ISIS.

Hazimis believe that those who do not unconditionally excommunicate ([ta[kfir]]) 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] It has been described as "ultra-extreme" and "even more extreme than ISIS".^[3][1] The movement was eventually branded as extremist by ISIS, who initiated a crackdown on its followers. Due to al-Hazimis reluctance to directly comment on the subject of politics, there exist extremely variant beliefs among the Hazimi movement, leading some to argue that it does not present itself as a unique Manhajj^[4]. Al-Hazimi instead focused on creating a theory-based Fiqhi system which could be utilized by his followers in a wide array of circumstances. The Hazimi Manhajj spans from direct Salafi-Jihadist elements currently aligned with Boko Haram and formerly associated with ISIS^[5], to those hesitating to explicitly criticise the Saudi kingdom. Adherents of Hazimiyyah regard participation in the democratic system or process as grounds for takfir and a disqualifier of Islam, considering it fully equivalent to prostration to an idol.
