Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. Some students of knowledge say that reciting Surat al-Ikhlas after every prayer is considered a religious innovation (bid'ah), and by doing so, they contradict a fatwa from Your Eminence, Shaykh Ibn [Baz].
Answer:
The innovator who says this is the one who is the innovator. I mean, the one who does not know it denies it and calls it a bid'ah, saying it is not permissible. This is the one who should go back and review the Shaykh's fatwa, review his evidence, and review it not just from his own opinion. This often comes from some of the pretentious scholars and the hasty ones. The Shaykh is a great imam and a person of scrupulousness, and he does not say anything except what he is certain is based on evidence.
