Question:
Is there evidence in the hadith of the group, where some of them said, "I will not eat meat," that the soundness of intention does not imply the soundness of the action, because they intended good but they erred?
Answer:
Yes, this is correct. The soundness of intention is sufficient only when the action contradicts the ruling. The criterion is not intention alone; the criterion is the lawfulness of the action. Yes, otherwise many of the people of misguidance intend good. Many of the people of misguidance, the extremists, the exaggerators, and the strict ones intend good, but they have no good and no reward. Intention is not sufficient. Following is necessary. Following is necessary.[Ali 'Imran 3:31] [Ali 'Imran 3:32] Therefore, obedience to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and following him are necessary. Yes.

Say, [O Muhammad], "If you should love Allah, then follow me, [so] Allah will love you and forgive you your sins. And Allah is Forgiving and Merciful."
قُلْ إِن كُنتُمْ تُحِبُّونَ اللَّهَ فَاتَّبِعُونِي يُحْبِبْكُمُ اللَّهُ وَيَغْفِرْ لَكُمْ ذُنُوبَكُمْ وَاللَّهُ غَفُورٌ رَّحِيمٌSay, "Obey Allah and the Messenger." But if they turn away - then indeed, Allah does not like the disbelievers.
قُلْ أَطِيعُوا اللَّهَ وَالرَّسُولَ فَإِن تَوَلَّوْا فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ لَا يُحِبُّ الْكَافِرِينَ
