Determining Biddah
Ghamidi sahb often says that sunnah are transmitted through ijma and tawatur so there is no doubt in it. My question is how do we detect if biddah is being tranmitted along with it with tawatur?

In order to meet the condition of tawatur it must be perpetually transmitted through generations from the very first day by such a large body of people that their conspiring or colluding on a lie becomes near to impossible. Ijma refers to consensus of the Muslims’ Knowledge (‘Musalmanon kai ilm ka ijma‘) which has been incorporated in ‘Fiqh Books‘ throughout the generations. For a Biddah, there will be a broken chain of tawatur and ijma while tracing it back to the source, just the way it was identified with “Reciting Adhan (Azan) And Iqamat In Newborn’s Ears” :

What about the sunnah of shiites, where the chains meet all the way to sahaba ( especially hazrat Ali)?
-
Which Sunnah are you referring to?
-
I mean all of there collection of sunnah.

In Shia Fiqh, Their Imam is ” Innocent (masoom)” and has the divine authority w.r.t interpretation of religious directives which to them is equal to a source of religion. As far as basic Sunnah are concerned, there’s no such difference. The differences are in certain interpretations of Quranic directives and akhbar-i-ahad which to them is a divine directive as long as their chain of transmission goes to any of their imam to the top.
