INNOVATIONS

1. The Hadeeth of 'Aa'ishah (RA) from the Messenger of
Allaah (S) that he said, "He who introduces into this
affair of ours that which is not part of it will have it
rejected."

2. The Hadeeth of al-Irbaad ibn Saariyah (RA): "I
advise you to fear Allaah and hear and obey even if an
Abyssinian slave is placed in charge of you, for every
novelty is an innovation, and every innovation is a going
astray."

All innovations in the Deen are forbidden.

As regards worldly affairs, some innovations are
good and some are bad.

Ibn Taymiyyah's rule which he extracts from these
and other proofs is that, "The basic rule in affairs of
the Deen is that all is forbidden except for a proof
which allows, and in affairs of the world, all things are
allowed except for a proof which forbids."

New things in worship are all misguidance even if
the people see it as something good, as Ibn 'Umar (RA)
said, "Every innovation is misguidance even if the people
see it as something good."

Imaam Ash-Shaafi'ee said, "He who declares something
to be religiously good has made it part of the
Sharee'ah."
