Is there a good innovation in the religion?

The questioner : Is there a good innovation in the religion?

The Shaykh : A good innovation in the religion? No.

The questioner : One person does a good deed and says now.

The Shaykh : And it is impossible for a good innovation to exist in the religion, ever. How can there be a good innovation when the most eloquent of creation (peace and blessings be upon him) said: . Every innovation, and he did not exclude anything. So how can we say that this innovation is good? Any person who does a deed and says it is a good innovation, this is not free from one of two things: either it is not good, or it is not an innovation. As for it being an innovation and good, this is impossible.
If a person says: When the Commander of the Faithful (may Allah be pleased with him) ordered Ubayy ibn Ka'b and Tamim al-Dari to lead the people in congregation in Ramadan, and he went out one day and found them doing this, he said: . So he praised this innovation and called it an innovation. The answer is: This is not an innovation in reality. Rather, it is the reviving of a Sunnah that had been left. It is established from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) that he prayed with his Companions in congregation for three nights in Ramadan, then he left it. And he said: . Then this Sunnah was left, and when the Messenger (peace be upon him) died, the people were safe from it being made obligatory upon them. Why? Because revelation had ceased. And nothing can be made obligatory after the end of revelation. And the people remained praying individually and in groups. A man would pray alone, and a man with two men, and two men with three, in the time of Abu Bakr and at the beginning of 'Umar's caliphate. So he ordered Tamim al-Dari and Ubayy ibn Ka'b to lead the people with eleven rak'ahs. 'Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) saw that reviving the previous Sunnah that was in the time of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) was a good innovation. So is it an innovation in consideration of what? The original state, or in consideration of what happened to it, which was leaving it? What happened to it, which was leaving it. So there is no proof for the people of innovation with this statement issued by 'Umar (may Allah be pleased with him). Yes.
