The reader: "And as for their second position, it is said: Suppose that innovations are divided into good and bad, this much does not prevent this hadith from indicating the badness of all of them, but most of what is said is that if it is established"
The Shaykh : It is, but if, if, if
The reader: But most of what is said
The Shaykh : That it
The reader: That it
The Shaykh : Yes
The reader: "That if it is established that this is good, it is an exception to the generality; otherwise, the principle is that every innovation is misguidance. It has become clear that the answer to everything used to oppose it by saying it is good and it is an innovation is either that it is not an innovation, or that it is specific. Thus, the indication of the hadith is safe. This answer is only for what has been established as good. As for other matters that may be thought to be good but are not good, or matters that may be good and may not be good, opposing with them is not appropriate. Rather, they are answered with the compound answer, which is: if it is established that this is good, it is not an innovation, or it is specific. And if it is not established that it is good, it falls within the generality. And if you know that the answer to this opposition is by one of the two answers, then in both cases: the indication from the hadith remains, and is not refuted by what they mentioned. And it is not permissible for anyone to oppose this comprehensive word of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), which is universal, namely his saying by negating its generality, which is to say that not every innovation is misguidance. For this is closer to opposing the Messenger than to interpretation. Rather, what is said regarding what is established as good among the deeds that may be called innovations is: this specific deed, for example, is not an innovation, so it does not fall under the hadith. Or if it falls under it, it is an exception to this generality due to such and such evidence, which is stronger than the generality. Although the first answer is better, and there is a consideration in this answer, for the intention of comprehensive generality"
The Shaykh : If
The reader: "If the intention of comprehensive generality is apparent from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) with this comprehensive word, so one should not deviate from his intention, may my father and mother be his sacrifice, (peace and blessings be upon him)"

The Shaykh : Ah?
The student: It is finished.
The Shaykh : Yes, indeed.
