Is there a good religious innovation (bid'ah) in Islam?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, is there a bad bid'ah (religious innovation) and a good bid'ah? A questioner from Sudan says he read this

Answer:
The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) says
for every novelty is an innovation, and every innovation is an error.فإن كل محدثة بدعة، وكل بدعة ضلالة
Sunan Abi Dawud 4607Sahih (Al-Albani)
, and he did not exclude anything from the innovations and say that it is good. So the bid'ah is bad, bad, there is no good in it. The good is only in the Sunnah established from the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him). So the one who says that there is a good bid'ah is mistaken. Yes.
