Question:
The questioner says: May Allah reward you. Did the Salaf (the earliest generations) seek knowledge from those who had adopted religious innovations (bid'ah)?
Answer:
They did not seek knowledge from the people of innovation (ahl al-bid'ah); they sought knowledge from the people of the Sunnah and uprightness. Yes.
Question:
The questioner says: May Allah reward you. Death. Religious innovations.
Answer:
If it is established that they are religious innovations, but nowadays many people accuse others of innovation and label them as innovators when they are not, because they do not understand what a religious innovation is, or they have a bias and want to turn people away. Do not pay attention to these people. Yes.
