An Addition in Religion

Peace All,

@Captain_Obvious

Ijtihad (what it really is) is not about adding or substracting things from deen. It is used to derive rulings for things which haven’t been made clear. E.g. fitra, fidya etc were based on quantities of wheat or barley. So ulema used these principles to give us ways to calculate or find an equivalence in cash so that we could discharge these duties without having to worry about getting those things.

A lot of the ijtihad that masses are asking for nowadays is to try to make halal haram and vice versa.

CO Bhai, I think fitra and fidya is mentioned in various hadith which is clear. Could you please present another example if you don’t mind.

@khamosh_girl

Isn’t addition in a religion known as bid’ah..?

I guess this is the hadith…

Zaid bin Arqam narrated that Muhammed (PBUH) said: “Indeed, I am leaving among you, that which if you hold fast to them, you shall not be misguided after me. One of then is greater than the other: (First is) The book of God is a rope extended from the sky to the earth, and (the second is) my family, the people of my house (ahlul bait), and they shall not split until they meet me at the hawd, so look at how you deal with them after me.”
(Sunan al Tirmidhii Volume 6, Chapter 31, Hadith No. 3788)

no it is different from this one.

@psyah

Wa’alaykumuSalam … I don’t understand the question brother!

Let me explain in this way. Chapter 5 verse 3: “…This day I have perfected for you your religion and completed My favor upon you and have approved for you Islam as religion…”.

What I meant here not interpretation of above verse but I meant 'the religion for us is perfected by Almighty Allah through Prophet Muhammad (in post#1, I posted 1 & 2) so after that (when religion is perfected/completed) do we need still in need of any any kind of addition(s) either good or bad etc.,

Hope I’m able to make my question understandable.
