The Ruling on Innovators Who Believe They Are on the Right Path
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
A person does not commit disbelief that expels him from the religion if he did not intend what he did or said, or if he was ignorant and did not know, even if he was negligent, provided there is a contradiction. Based on this principle, many innovators pass by who defend their religious innovation because they believe that this innovation is the truth. Are they rewarded for this religious innovation if they believe it to be the truth?
If the truth is explained to these people and they persist in their religious innovation, they are misguided and are not rewarded; rather, they sin. This is because every religious innovation is misguidance, and every misguidance is in the Fire.
As for those who believe that this is the truth, they are rewarded for their intention, but they are not rewarded for their action, because it is not prescribed.
