The questioner : We said that religious innovation is divided into two categories. If someone were to say that al-Bukhari and Sahih Muslim included Isma'il ibn Awas, who is more severe regarding religious innovations for the people of the Sunnah, and that there are also in Sahih al-Bukhari and Sahih Muslim those from among the Jahmiyyah and the like whom they included?
The Shaykh : The Shaykh al-Islam said in his answer to that: "They have verified what was transmitted because of corroborating evidence they knew or because they would present it in the same chapter"
The questioner : Why do we not adopt the opinion of some scholars who say that the narration of the people of innovation is not accepted absolutely?
The Shaykh : No, what Ibn Hajar preferred in al-Nukhba is: "If he narrates what strengthens his innovation, it is rejected, if it is an innovation that entails open sinfulness. As for an innovation that entails disbelief, it is rejected absolutely. And if he narrates without strengthening his innovation, it is accepted", yes.
