Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: Is the division of bid'ah (religious innovation) into kufri bid'ah, haram bid'ah, and makruh bid'ah correct?
Answer:
Yes, bid'ah (religious innovations) are not all the same. There is kufri bid'ah, such as building on graves, making du'a' (supplication) to the dead, and seeking aid from the dead; this is shirk (associating partners with Allah). There is bid'ah that leads to fisq (open sinfulness), and there is bid'ah that is a sin. I mean, bid'ah (religious innovations) are not all the same. Yes.
