Bid'ah

In Islam, bidʿah (Arabic: بدعة [ˈbɪdʕæ], lit. 'innovation') refers to innovation in religious matters.[1] Linguistically, the term means "innovation, novelty, heretical doctrine, heresy".[2] Despite its common use in Muslim texts, the term is not found in the Qur'an.

For other uses, see Bida (disambiguation).

In classical Arabic literature (adab), it has been used as a form of praise for outstanding compositions of prose and poetry.[3]

"A newly invented way [beliefs or action] in the religion, in imitation of the Shariah (prescribed Law), by which nearness to Allah is sought, [but] not being supported by any authentic proof – neither in its foundations, nor in the manner in which it is performed."

[10]

"Carrying out actions which displease Allah Subhanahu wa ta'ala and his messenger" Muhammad. ().[11]

Muhammad ibn Isa at-Tirmidhi

"New things that have no basis in the Qurʼan or Sunnah" ().[12]

Ibn Rajab

Bid'ah is always bad but if a new thing has origins in the Qur'an and Sunnah it is to be called Bid'ah Logaviyya (verbal innovation), ().[13]
