What is the difference between new matters in the religion and religious innovations?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Is there a difference between new matters in the religion and religious innovations in the religion, and which of the two is more prevalent in this time?

Answer:
New matters in the religion are religious innovations; there is no difference between them. Every newly invented matter is a religious innovation, and every religious innovation is misguidance. The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said: whether it is called a religious innovation or a new matter, they all mean the same thing. Yes.
