Summary

Shaykh Yasir Qadhi acquaints us with the reality of the concept of Bid’ah or Innovation which is a branch of theology. What constitutes an innovation? What are the branches? Where and when does this occur, including the categories found within, along with the dangers related. Linguistically, Bid'ah means to bring something unprecedented or that which has not been brought before. Islamically, it implies a new methodology or action in Islam. It is the opposite of Sunnah. Every Bid'ah is a misguidance and leads to Jahannam. Bid'ah has the same categories as Islam such as Wajib, Mustahab, Mubah, Makrooh and Haram. Categories of Bid'ah: Bid'ah Filiyah (doing something more) vs Bid'ah Tarqiyyah (giving something up) - examples are stated. Bid'ah I'tiqadiyah (Bid'ah of Aqeedah) vs Bid'ah Amaliyyah( action based Bid'ah) - illustrated via examples. Bid'ah Kulliyyah vs Bid'ah Juziyyah. Bid'ah Baseethah vs Bid'ah Murakkabah. Bid'ah Haqeeqiyyah (True Bid'ah) vs Bid'ah Idhaafiyyah (adding or tweaking something more to something that is already present). Various examples citing the Hadith are illustrated and we get numerous clarifications thus, making for a very interesting and mesmerising listen.
