Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is there a difference between the one who errs and the innovator?
Answer:
Yes, there is a difference. The one who errs is a broader category. The one who errs may be doing so out of ignorance. His error may be minor or it may be major. As for bid'ah (religious innovation), may Allah protect us from it, it is misguidance. Every bid'ah is misguidance. Bid'ah is very serious, more serious. Yes.
