Question:
What is the ruling on those who single out the night of the middle of Sha'ban for acts of worship, as well as fasting and slaughtering?
Answer:
All of this is a bid'ah (religious innovation). The night of the middle of Sha'ban is not singled out for worship over other nights. There is no basis for singling it out, whether by standing in prayer or by fasting on the fifteenth day of Sha'ban. This is a bid'ah, and every bid'ah is misguidance. Yes.
