Question:
He says: We are a group among the Islamic groups present on the scene. We came to the Haram with the intention of performing 'Umrah in Rajab, and also to keep the night of Isra and Mi'raj. We did not find the people here in the Haram keeping this night. What do you advise us to do?
Answer:
Praise be to Allah. May Allah protect you from evil. The Muslims and the people of the Sunnah do not establish religious innovations (bid'ah), neither in the Sacred Mosque nor anywhere else. So you should abandon this religious innovation in any place, whether in your country or here. Abandon this religious innovation. Isra and Mi'raj has no celebration, no prayer, and no specific worship dedicated to it. Yes.
