Abusing the scholars and disrespecting them due to mistakes that they happen to make, is the way of the people of Bid'ah. It is a scheme of the enemies of the Ummah to raise doubts against Islam and generate hatred between Muslims in an attempt to disconnect the Ummah from its pious predecessors and promote division between the youth and scholars, a matter which exists today.

Therefore, the students of knowledge and novices who abuse and belittle the jurists and Islamic jurisprudence, and express their disinterest in studying it, and benefiting from it, should take pride in their jurisprudence instead, and respect their scholars and not be deceived by deviating propaganda that has ulterior motives, and Allah is the One Who grants success to whoever He wills.

*▪️ The definition of Bid'ah:*

The definition of Bid'ah (linguistically): an innovation, novelty: anything originated, invented, or innovated which did not exist before, and not after the similitude of anything pre-existing, of this are the words of Allah, describing Himself: *"He is the originator of the heavens and the earth."* (2:117)
That is, He is the Originator of the heavens and the earth, for the first time without pre-existing model, and as Allah says: *"Say, 'I am no new Messenger."* (46:9) Meaning, I am not the first who came with a message from Allah to mankind, rather I am preceded by many Messengers.

And when it is said: _"So and so innovated a Bid'ah",_ means that he has initiated a method preceded by none before.

*Ibtida' (innovation) is of two categories:*
*▫️. Ibtida' in terms of customs,* such as innovating modem invention, and this is lawful because originally all customs are lawful.
*▫️. Ibtida' in terms of religion* which is unlawful because religious rights are originally prohibited except for those legitimized by the Law maker: Allah, the Exalted, or His Messenger. The Prophet said: _*"He who introduces any ritual which is not substantiated, it shall be rejected."*_ [Bukhari and Muslim].

*▪️. The levels of Bid'ah: Religious Bid'ah is of two levels.*

*▫️The first, verbal Bid'ah, which is related to creeds (Aqqdah),* such as the assertions of the Jahmites, the Mu'tazilites, and the Rafidah, and the rest of the beliefs of the deviant sects.
*▫️The second, the Bid'ah in acts of worship,* such as worshipping Allah by rituals which He does not sanction.

✍️...

*This level of Bid'ah is of four kinds:*

*▫️.* Which is relevant to the basic acts of worship, that is, to innovate an act of worship which has no base in Islam, such as innovating a prayer which is not legitimate, or observing fasting which is not originally legitimate, or illegal festivals or feasts such as the celebration of birthdays or the like.
*▫️.* To introduce an extra act of worship to a legitimate one such as adding a fifth Rakah in Zuhr or Asr prayer, for instance.
___*PAGE 8*___.
✍️...

*▫️.* A Bid'ah which is related to the format of legitimate acts of worship; to perform it, for instance in a different manner, such as reciting the legitimate formulas of the remembrance of Allah, chanting it in congregation or by overburdening one's own self and performing acts of worship to the extent of exceeding the Sunnah of the Messenger.

*▫️.* This is related to the timing of a legitimate act of worship which the Prophet did not designate; such as dedicating the day and night of the middle of Sha'ban for praying and fasting. In this case, fasting and night prayers are legitimate acts of worship, but to do so at certain times for observing them without a textual proof, is Bid'ah.

▪️. *The Ruling of Bid'ah in Islam and Its Kinds*

Every Bid'ah in religion is unlawful, and a means of misguidance, because the Prophet said: _*"Beware of the innovated religious rites, for every innovated rite is Bid'ah, and every Bid'ah is a means of misguidance."*_ (Abu Dawood and others) And he said: _*"He who innovates a thing in our deen, it shall be rejected"*_ (Muslim) In another version, he said: _*"He who performs an act of worship which is not substantiated by our deen, it shall be rejected."*_ (Muslim).
___*PAGE 10*___.
✍️...

These two traditions signify that every innovated practice in Islam is Bid'ah, and every Bid'ah is a rejected means of deviation. *This means that innovations in worship and beliefs are prohibited.*

➖➖➖
*Caution:* He who divides the Bid'ah into good and bad Bid'ah, is mistaken, and he contradicts the Hadith of the Prophet: _*"Every Bid'ah is a means of deviation."*_ Because the Messenger ruled that all innovations with no exception are means of deviation, while those who divide the Bid'ah, they oppose the Prophet saying: _"No, not every Bid'ah is a means of deviation, rather, there are some of them that are good._
