Machine translationRead the Arabic original
In some narrations: The innovator’s prayer, fasting, Hajj, and other deeds are not accepted. Is this correct?
No, that is not correct.Because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: (Every innovation is misguidance). So innovations are misguidance, but some of them amount to disbelief, while others are less than that.
The questioner: Are the other deeds accepted?The Shaykh: Yes, they are accepted, unless his innovation is one that entails disbelief.
