Is flagrant self-display (tabarruj) and turning away from God's religion considered part of the "ihdath" mentioned in the noble Hadith: "Whoever introduces an innovation (ahdatha hadathan) or shelters an innovator (awa muhdithan), upon him is the curse of Allah, the angels, and all of mankind..."?

Al-Bukhari and Muslim reported that the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "Madinah is a sanctuary between 'Air and Thawr. Whoever innovates therein an innovation, or gives shelter to an innovator, upon him is the curse of Allah, the angels, and all mankind. Allah will not accept from him on the Day of Resurrection any compensation or equivalent."

Scholars have clarified that the meaning of "innovates therein an innovation" or "gives shelter to an innovator" encompasses two matters: 1. Bid'ah (Innovation): To introduce into the religion that which Allah has not legislated. 2. Fitnah (Discord): To instigate discord among Muslims leading to bloodshed or enmity.

Some scholars have also held that "the innovator" includes anyone who commits a sin or shelters and protects one who commits a sin, or commits a crime that necessitates a right, such as retribution (qisas) or blood money (diyah), and prevents the one who deserves the right from obtaining it.

Accordingly, displaying adornment (tabarruj) is not intended in this hadith, and it is most likely that whoever comes to Madinah comes modestly dressed. There is hope for her guidance in welcoming her and offering her sincere advice.
