Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question : The questioner asks: Is everyone who opposes the Salaf of the Ummah, whether in their creedal or da'wah methodology, in any specific issue, considered an innovator or not? Please inform us. May Allah reward you with good.

Answer : Yes, as we mentioned first, innovation is of two types: absolute and restricted. If he opposes the Salaf in a specific matter, he is an innovator in that matter. Sit down, may Allah bless you. Sit down. Sit down. If he opposes the Salaf in a specific matter, he is an innovator in that specific matter, and his innovation must be restricted to that matter. However, if the methodology is like a school founded in opposition to the methodology of the Salaf, then it is correct to describe him as an absolute innovator.
