السلام عليكم و رحمة الله

1-There is no such thing as Bida'ah Hasanah, an innovation is an innovation in the Istilahi sense concerning religious practices.

.....

5-A good number of renowned scholars accepted the concept of Bida'ah Hasanah especially in my Madhab but I want to be on the safe side so I don't encourage any of the Bida'ah Hasanah acts such as the Mawlid but I won't go and attack the people who participate in it.

و الصلاة و السلام على سيدنا و حبيبنا محمد و على آله و صحبه و سلم

How do you reconcile your first statement with the se cond? In the first one you say that, decisively, there is no thing as a Bidah Hassanah but then in your second you acknowledge Ikhtilaaf. Given that you are not a scholar, can't you simply say that I make Taqleed of the view that there is no Bidah Hassanah, when you know ikhtilaaf exists, rather than making a declaration that a particular view is correct over another?
