    as-salaamu 'alaikum wa rahmatullaahi wa barakaatuh,

    جراكم الله جيرا - may Allah reward you all for this and all the benefits on these new sites that have been published in the last few years. Alhamdulillaah for His blessings and may He aid, defend, and support you as you aid, defend, and support His Deen.

    I have a question: The beautiful deduction from the words of the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم in the 1st hadeeth of 'Aa'ishah radiyAllaahu 'anha concludes that:
    ... nothing is considered a bidah in the Shariah sense except when these conditions are met. These three conditions are:

    • (الإحداث) - Introducing something new
    • (الإضافة) - Ascribing it to the religion
    • (عدم الدليل الشرعي) - Absence of Shariah evidence in either a general way or a specific way
    But based on the third condition, can it not be claimed that bid'ah idafiyyah have general evidence in the Shaari'ah - and so they are not in actuality bid'ah? Perhaps the answer to my question is in this quote after mentioning the 3 hadeeths of 'Aa'ishah radiyAllaahu 'anhaa (specifically the portions I have made bold):
    The second and third hadeeths both add further meaning to what has preceded in that whoever works an affair or does an action which is not in agreement with the Shariah in its details and particulars will have it rejected. Together with the first hadeeth, these three ahaadeeth cover a) what is newly-invented having no basis whatsoever and b) what may have a basis but which in its details and particulars deviates and differs from what is in the Shariah. Thus, both the bidah haqiqiyyah (proper innovation) and bidah idafiyyah (relative innovation) - [see this article] - are both clarified in the Sunnah, warned against, and rejected.
    But I have 2 problems with this:
    1) How is it deduced from the hadeeths that the action has to be "in agreement with the Shari'ah in its details and particulars?"
    2) Would this change the 3rd condition mentioned above to: "Absence of a Shari'ah evidence in a specific way?"

    Jazaakumullaahu khayraa.

    An important quote:
    As for the doubts of the Innovators, then in order to justify their newly-introduced matters of worship into the religion, they deceive and confuse the people about the linguistic and Shariah definitions of the word bidah, and they provide instances where the word has been used in a linguistic sense only to deceive the people into thinking that the censure and rebuke of innovation in the Shariah sense is not absolute and general, and that it is permissible to innovate into the matters of worship. This is great deception indeed and a lie upon the Messenger himself and upon the Scholars of Islam whose words they twist.
