Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh :"Or what you see of their effects in the heart, *** and in the intentions, deeds, and pillars"
Correct. The effects of religious innovations appear in the heart and in the intentions, meaning the desires, and in the deeds and the limbs. So religious innovation has great, bad effects on the heart, the tongue, the limbs, and the deeds, and bad effects on the entire society, because it turns from following the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) to innovating in the religion of Allah.
"If your water source is pure, they are all pure ***" Meaning: the effects on the heart, the intentions, and the pillars.
"If your water source is pure, they are all pure *** How can the sources of the stench become pure?" The question here is for negation, meaning: it is not possible for the sources of the stench to become pure.
