Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. Some scholars have added a fourth category to tawhid (the oneness of Allah), which is tawhid al-mutaba'ah (following the Messenger). Is this correct?
Answer:
No, the opposite of tawhid (the oneness of Allah) is shirk (associating partners with Allah). Not following the Messenger means bid'ah (religious innovation). There is a difference between bid'ah (religious innovation) and shirk (associating partners with Allah). Yes.
