Is Everyone who does an Innovation called an Innovator?
Sheikh Bin Baaz (Allah have mercy on him) Said:
"The origins of this, is that whoever does an act of innovation is an innovator, this is the origin. However, if the person is ignorant, and if he were to know what he is doing is an innovation he would repent, we don’t call him an innovator. If he insists upon his innovation, he is called an innovator, according to his innovation. So the person who were to celebrate the birthday of the Prophet - صلى الله عليه وسلم- for example, he would be called an innovator until he stops and repents. Or for the one who builds shrines upon the graves, or prays to them, or builds Masajid on them. Then in this case he would be an innovator. And things like this, they are Innovations that Allah made impermissible. The Prophet - صلى الله عليه وسلم said, “Be aware of the newly invented matters, because every innovation is misguidance” and that which is similar to it in other ahadith where He - صلى الله عليه وسلم - said “Whoever innovates into this Religion that which isn't from it, it will be rejected’, and that which is mention in the Khutbah on Friday by the Prophet - صلى الله عليه وسلم -, “As for what follows, the best speech is the speech of Allah and the best guidance is the guidance of the Prophet - صلى الله عليه وسلم -, and the worst of Affairs are the newly invented matters, every newly invented matter is an innovation, and every innovation is in the hell fire.”
So the Muslim should follow the order of the Prophet Muhammad - صلى الله عليه وسلم -, be careful of Innovations. So the people of innovators are those who continue in innovation, (Knowing it’s an innovation) until they repent for it to Allah. So the ignorant knows, whoever seeks Allahs forgiveness, Allah will forgive him."
