Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
What is the meaning of the hadith
He who did any act for which there is no sanction from our behalf, that is to be rejected.من عمل عملا ليس عليه أمرنا فهو رد
Sahih Muslim 1718b
?

Answer:
Its meaning is clear: it is a warning against bid'ah (religious innovation). Any action that the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) did not legislate is a bid'ah, and the bid'ah is rejected; it carries sin and no reward. Yes.
