The Good Innovation and the Bad Innovation

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Is there a good bid'ah (religious innovation) and a bad bid'ah?

Answer:
The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said
every novelty is an innovation, and every innovation is an errorكل محدثة بدعة وكل بدعة ضلالة
Sunan Abi Dawud 4607Sahih (Al-Albani)
and he did not exclude anything, and every innovation is misguidance by the explicit text of the hadith of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him). So the one who says there is a good innovation, this is a refutation of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him); he is saying, “You are wrong; not every innovation is misguidance; there is a good innovation that was hidden from the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him).” How ugly is this statement. Yes.
