The Shaykh’s presentation of the arguments and evidence of those who divide religious innovations into good and bad.

The Shaykh : Someone will inevitably say, or a questioner will ask, that the majority of scholars today hold that there is good in religious innovation and there is evil in it, so they must have some evidence. What is this evidence, and what is our response to it?
This is not a new matter; truth and falsehood are always in continuous conflict. Allah (Mighty and Majestic) says: This difference is ongoing. Therefore, when a person brings up a doubt today, imagining it to be evidence, he has in reality not brought anything new. And when we refute this doubt, we have also not brought anything new, because we are preceded by this truth to which we call people. This is a favor of Allah upon us and upon people, but most people do not know.
