Question:
Are the hadiths regarding the virtue of the night of the middle of Sha'ban authentic?
Answer:
Answer: No, they are not authentic. Nothing is authentic regarding the night of the middle of Sha'ban or the day of the middle of Sha'ban. Therefore, the night of the middle of Sha'ban is not established, meaning it is not singled out for standing in prayer. As for one who has a habit of standing in prayer, he stands on the night of the middle of Sha'ban just as he does on other nights. However, singling it out for standing in prayer is a religious innovation. Similarly, fasting on the fifteenth of Sha'ban is a religious innovation, except for one who has a habit of fasting, such as fasting the white days (the 13th, 14th, and 15th of the lunar month), in which case he fasts in Sha'ban and other months.
