Can you please explain if the objector’s claims are correct?
Jazakallah!
Answer:
Alaykum Salam,
There is no question that the precondition of validity in all excellent innovations is that they do not, must not and cannot contradict the Shari`a as spelled out by Imam al-Shafi`i in his famous saying. See my Sunna Notes, Volume II which illustrates how this is understood in the practice of the Salaf and Khalaf (including Ibn al-Jawzi), and save your
valuable time the nit-picking of those who were born yesterday.
