Designating the Prophet's birthday for fasting

Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. This questioner says: Is it prescribed for a person to intentionally fast on the day of the birth of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him)?

Answer:
May you be well. There is nothing that happens on the day of the birth of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him). Neither the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) nor the Rightly Guided Caliphs did anything, nor did any of the trusted scholars act on the occasion of the birth of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him). Rather, it is the mission. Allah only highlighted the mission. . He did not say "He was born among the unlettered." He said "He sent among the unlettered." A messenger from among them. Allah mentioned the mission and did not mention the birth. Everyone is born, the Messenger and other than the Messenger, but the mission is specific to the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him).
