[quote]According to my understanding, when Bida'h is used as a term, implying an unauthorized addition to the corpus of Islam, it is an innovation in religion which is totally unacceptable be it good or bad. Someone can posit one fine day that in view of the general decadence of Muslims, let's add ten more fasts to the normal course of Ramadan for further spiritual nourishment. Call it Bid'ah-e-Hassana. Clearly, it is an atrocious idea, one that opens the door for altering the contents of our belief system; the door which has been closed with the culmination of the institution of prophethood. Thus Bid'ah as a term is always unacceptable, there's nothing good about it. Bid'ah in its literal sense can be good or bad. As for the ulema's categorization of the term, it may simply have been an error in understanding a statement referred to Umar (ra) wherein he has used the term Bid'ah to praise the initiation of Taraweeh prayer in congregation.
