Question:
May Allah reward you with good and do you well. You have been generous, Shaykh Salih (may Allah increase you in knowledge and success), and you mentioned that five Muslim scholars wrote on fabricated hadiths. Do you know of any scholars who wrote on bid'ah and the Sunnah?
Answer:
Yes, there are many books written on bid'ah and the Sunnah, praise be to Allah. Among them are al-Sunan wa al-Mubtada'at al-Mutalliqah bi al-Athkar wa al-Salawat (The Sunnahs and Innovations Related to Dhikr and Prayers) by Shaykh al-Shaqiri al-Misri (may Allah have mercy on him), who is one of the scholars of the Anصار al-Sunnah al-Muhammadiyyah (Supporters of the Muhammadan Sunnah) in Egypt. There is also al-Ibtida' fi Mudhar al-Ibtida' (Innovation in the Harms of Innovation) by Shaykh 'Ali Mahfuz, one of the scholars of al-Azhar. These are modern books. There are also older books, such as al-Bid' wa al-Nahy 'Anha (Innovations and the Prohibition of Them) by Imam Ibn Wadhih, and al-Tabartusi's book on explaining innovations and prohibiting them. There are many other books, especially in al-Iqtida' al-Sirat al-Mustaqim Mukhalafat Ahl al-Jahim (Following the Straight Path in Opposing the People of the Hellfire) by Imam Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah, which contains rules and criteria for distinguishing innovations from other matters. There are also many treatises and books, either on the criteria for bid'ah or on specific innovations that the scholars have discussed individually.
