When is a person described as one who holds to religious innovation?

Question:
The questioner says: May Allah reward you. When is it said that a person is one who holds to religious innovation? Are there innovators in this time? And who has the right to declare them innovators?

Answer:
A person is described as one who holds to religious innovation if he is in opposition to the Sunnah. If he acts in opposition to the Sunnah, the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said: . Even if he did not invent the innovation but merely acted upon it, he becomes an innovator. So the one who wants to be among the people of the Sunnah must first learn what the Sunnah is and act upon it. No, it is not enough to merely claim to be a follower of the Sunnah without knowing the Sunnah according to the methodology of the Salaf, or knowing the methodology of the Salaf. No, one must know this and follow it. There are many innovators in this time; the innovators have multiplied now, along with the misguided sects. This confirms for the Muslim the need to hold fast to the methodology of the Salaf, after learning and knowing it, so that he may be saved from religious innovations and newly invented matters. Yes. Ah.
