Is the one who praises the innovators considered an innovator?

Question:
May Allah reward you. Your Eminence, the father, the questioner asks: If a person praises the innovators and certifies them as righteous, is he called an innovator?

Answer:
If they are indeed innovators, yes. Because the problem nowadays is that some people label everything as a bid'ah (religious innovation). The young people who have enthusiasm and such, they consider everything to be a bid'ah. Bid'ah has specific criteria and evidence from the Shari'ah. One does not rule that something is a bid'ah except the people of knowledge. If it is established that this is a bid'ah, if it is established that this is a bid'ah, then it is to be avoided, and the one who invented it or called people to it is to be avoided. Yes.
