The Ruling on Singling Out the Twenty- Seventh of Rajab for Worship
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: What is the ruling on singling out the night of the twenty-seventh of Rajab for an 'Umrah, fasting, or charity?
Answer:
This has no basis. They call it the Night of the Ascension and the Night Journey. This is an error; there is no basis for this, and nothing has been established regarding it. Therefore, it is not permissible to single it out, neither for an 'Umrah, nor for a celebration, nor for anything else, because it has no specific designation. Even if it were established that it is the Night of the Ascension and the Night Journey, it would not be singled out for anything, because the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) did not single it out for anything. Singling out is an act of worship, and worship is based on divine legislation. Therefore, it is not permissible to single out a night in Rajab or any other night for anything: neither for prayer, nor for anything else.
