The intended meaning of the condemned innovation in the hadith.

The Shaykh : However, one of these hadiths, while indicating what this phrase indicated, drew attention to the fact that the innovation intended in such a Prophetic maxim is innovation in religion. He said, (peace and blessings be upon him): . His saying, (peace and blessings be upon him), in this hadith, which is among the hadiths of the two Shaykhs in their "Sahihayn": , is a qualification and clarification of the innovation that is misguidance, which is that which occurs in worship in religion. As for the innovation that has no connection to religion, it has other rulings, and we do not say that it is permissible; it may be permissible based on the well-known principle among jurists, which is their saying: "The original ruling for things is permissibility." However, this thing, which is among the matters of this world, often leads to what is forbidden in Islam; this has a different status and has no connection to the innovation intended to increase drawing near to Allah, (Blessed and Exalted is He).
