Making Up Worship Rituals
Let’s say I want to do sufi dhikr- the circle one that they do. Is that haraam? Al-Hadid – 57:27 Arabic ثُمَّ قَفَّيۡنَا عَلَىٰٓ ءَاثَٰرِهِم بِرُسُلِنَا وَقَفَّيۡنَا بِعِيسَى ٱبۡنِ مَرۡيَمَ وَءَاتَيۡنَٰهُ ٱلۡإِنجِيلَ وَجَعَلۡنَا فِى قُلُوبِ ٱلَّذِينَ ٱتَّبَعُوهُ رَأۡفَةً وَرَحۡمَةً وَرَهۡبَانِيَّةً ٱبۡتَدَعُوهَا مَا كَتَبۡنَٰهَا عَلَيۡهِمۡ إِلَّا ٱبۡتِغَآءَ رِضۡوَٰنِ ٱللَّهِ فَمَا رَعَوۡهَا حَقَّ رِعَايَتِهَاۖ فَـَٔاتَيۡنَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ مِنۡهُمۡ أَجۡرَهُمْۖ وَكَثِيرٌ مِّنۡهُمۡ فَٰسِقُونَ Here the Quran talks about monasticism and it’s really not even a negative light in my opinion. It literally says that they got their payment for it and that it was good willed. Unless we’re going to say they didn’t know they were doing a bidah? But it seems they did because the Quran says they did it seeking the pleasure of Allah
