He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, what is the reason for calling the innovators and some of the misguided sects "mythical," and what is the meaning of the word "mythical"?
Answer:
A myth is something that has no evidence from the Book or the Sunnah; this is what a myth is. A myth is something they consider to be part of the religion, but it is not. Call it a myth, call it a bid'ah (religious innovation), call it whatever you want. The important thing is that it is not part of the religion. Yes.
