The Danger of Innovation in Light of the Perfection of the Sharīʿah

The Danger of Innovation in Light of the Perfection of the Sharīʿah
By Shaykh Muḥammad ibn Ṣāliḥ al-ʿUthaymīn — Translated by Abū ʿIyāḍ Amjad Rafīq

A brief but precise treatise on bidʿah (innovation in the religion) by one of the greatest scholars of the twentieth century. Shaykh Muḥammad ibn Ṣāliḥ al-ʿUthaymīn establishes the comprehensive nature of the Sharīʿah — its completeness and perfection — and uses this as the foundation for proving that any newly introduced matter in the religion is rejected, regardless of the intention behind it. Drawing on evidence from the Quran and the authentic Sunnah, Shaykh al-ʿUthaymīn demonstrates why the Prophet ﷺ himself declared every innovation to be misguidance.

Translated into English by Abū ʿIyāḍ Amjad Rafīq, this compact work is an excellent introduction to the topic of bidʿah and its dangers — accessible for students at all levels, clear in its argument, and firmly rooted in the understanding of the Salaf.
