Is Every New Action In Deen Haraam?

Those people who say that every Bid'at is Haraam should understand the meaning of this universally accepted principle that the origin of everything is Mubah(permissible) i.e.everything is permissible unless a Hukm(command) has come in it's prohibition which will make it Haraam. Every novelty is not prohibited on the grounds that it is something new but the prohibition comes if the novelty is in contradiction with the Holy Qur'aan or the Sunnah.
The ayahs of the Holy Qur'aan along with Hadith and the statements of the Fuqaha (jurisprudents) have approved of this principle. The Holy Qur'aan says:
"O you who believe ask not of things which if disclosed to you may annoy you, and if you ask them why the Qur'aan is yet being revealed, they will be disclosed to you, Allah had pardoned that, and Allah is Oft Forgiving, Most Forbearing".
From this blessed ayat we see that all those things about which no command or prohibition has come have been pardoned. That is why the Holy Qur'aan says regarding those women with whom nikah is prohibited:
"Lawful unto you are all beyond those mentioned".
and it says,
"While he was surely mentioned to you in detail what he has forbidden you".
We see that all things in general are permissible except those which have been forbidden in the Holy Qur'aan and Hadith.
A Hadith in Mishkat, Babul Adobe-ta'aam says," Permitted is that which Allah has made permissible in His Book, and prohibited is that which Allah has prohibited in His Book and that about which nothing has been mentioned is pardoned". From this Hadith we see that things are of three categories.
-Firstly,that which is permissible and its permissibility has been established from the Holy Qur'aan. -Secondly, that which is impermissible and its impermissibility is established in the Holy Qur'aan.
-Thirdly, that about which the Holy Qur'aan is silent and these are pardoned.
The book Shami(Vol. 1, Kitabul Taha'rat under the definition of Sunnat) says:
"According to the Hanafis and Shafis it is the accepted principle, that, the origin of every action is permissible". Even in the books of Tafseer such as Khazin, Ruhool Bayan and Khazaainaul-Irfaan it is written the same, that, the origin of everything is permissible unless it has been made impermissible by the Holy Qur'aan.
Some people ask this question "Show us where is it written that Maulid Sharif is permissible or that the Holy Prophet(SAW) ever performed the Maulid or the respected Sahaba or the Tabi'een performed it?
This question is deceiving and misguided. It is upon those who say that Maulid is Haraam to show us which ayah or Hadith has prohibited Maulid and to bring us evidence which supports these words.
How can they say something to be Haraam and that too, Maulid Shareef where in the praises of the beloved Prophet(SAW) are sung and his blessed biography and actions are mentioned to freshen the minds and give calmness to the soul. When Allah has not made it Haraam nor has any Hadith come in it's prohibition? The Holy Qur'aan's silence on this subject, and the Hadith not having anything against it, indicates that Maulid Shareef is permissible.
Allah says in the Holy Qur'aan:
"Say: I find not in that which is revealed unto him aught prohibited to an eater that he eat thereof, except it be carrion or blood poured froth or swine flesh for that verily is foul"
and He says:
"Say: who has forbidden the adornment of Allah which He had brought froth for His bondsmen and the things clean and pure (which He has provided) for sustenance?"
This proves that not to get indication towards a thing's impermissibility is enough as an evidence for it to be permissible.
Therefore, all these objections are based on the lack of true knowledge of those who make these weak objections. Instead of making these objections these people should concentrate on acquiring true and accurate knowledge from the blessed Alims of the AhleSunnat Jamaat. May Allah give us all the opportunity to acquire true knowledge and mend our ways.
Ameen.
