Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner: My teacher, may Allah preserve you, there is something else in his question regarding this.
The Shaykh: It seems so.
The questioner: From the first part of the speech, it seems he is asking: Does describing an innovator narrator as trustworthy imply or contradict his justice?
The Shaykh: This has already been answered.
The questioner: Yes, you answered it, our Shaykh.
The Shaykh: It was not present.
The questioner: It was not present, this is his question... .
The Shaykh: This is his answer, as I mentioned earlier, the innovation by which an innovator is characterized means he is described as just, not as an open sinner, not as an open sinner, because open sinfulness is the deliberate departure from the obedience of Allah (Mighty and Majestic). As for one who contradicts a legal ruling due to an error in independent legal reasoning, while he intends to do good as far as he is able—and peace be upon you—he is not called an open sinner, but rather a person who made a mistake, and he may be called misguided. However, in our view, he is misguided in the sense of warning against following him in his misguidance and his innovation. But if he is a scholar qualified to derive rulings and Allah (Mighty and Majestic) knows of his... mistakes, then the well-known hadith applies here:Mishkat al-Masabih 3732.

The Shaykh: Go ahead.

When a judge gives a decision having tried his best to decide correctly and is right, he will have a double reward; and when he gives a decision having tried his best to decide correctly and is wrong, he will have a single reward.

The Shaykh: Go ahead.
