Sayyidina ʿUmar during his caliphate gathered the multifarious groups praying tarawih into a single congregation. Ubay ibn Kaʿb said: 'This was not done before! Sayyidina ʿUmar said I am fully aware of this, but it is excellent! He also said: 'What a fine innovation this is.
Nowhere in the field of Islamic jurisprudence is a blatant tampering with the truth felt more than in the redefinition of Sunna and bid'a. The understanding of for these terms is arrogantly cast aside. The crystal-clear distinction of the pious Salaf such as Imam al-Shafi'i, Bid'a is of two kinds; praiseworthy innovation and blameworthy innovation is being abandoned, while later, controversial figures are invoked as more representative of the Salaf.
The intent of this book is to do away with these perilous misconceptions and to present over 160 proofs for the Sunni understanding of Sunna and bid'a as set forth in classical, moderate, mainstream Islam according to the Sunni Salaf and Khalaf, including the four Schools of Fiqh. Additionally, the book provides case studies on topics such as collective supplication, partitions for women in mosques, and proofs for visitation of graves by women.
