The Ruling on Celebrating the Night of the Isra and the Mi'raj

Question:
May Allah reward you with good and do you good. On what day was the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) taken on the night journey? And is it permissible to celebrate this day?

Answer:
Yes, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was taken on the Night Journey, and this is in the Qur'an. This is established by the Book, the Sunnah, and the consensus of the Muslims. The Night Journey of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) on a night, his ascension to the heavens, and his return to Makkah on the same night. This is transmitted by mass transmission (mutawatir), and it is among the miracles of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him). As for specifying the night on which this great event occurred, it has not been mentioned, and no evidence indicates its designation. What is established is that this occurred before the migration, before the migration from Makkah to al-Madinah, and it was not specified as a particular night. This indicates that there is no obligation to know this night, because if a legal ruling had been attached to it, Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He) would have clarified it, and His Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) would have clarified it. Consequently, celebrating this occasion is a religious innovation (bid'ah). The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) did not do it, nor did his noble Companions, nor the blessed generations. Celebrating the occasion of the Night Journey and Ascension, and celebrating the occasion of the middle night of Sha'ban, or the Night of Decree, all of these are innovations, ,
