And so on the night of the 15th of Sha’baan, some people celebrate it, [and] some people pray it in the masaajid, [and] some people gather [together] in the homes, [and] some people do [other] things – and [all of] this has no basis [in Islaam].
So celebrating the night of the 15th of Sha’baan, and standing it in prayer, or fasting the day of the 15th of Sha’baan has no basis [in Islaam], rather, it is an innovation.
As for fasting the three days of every month, or fasting Mondays and Thursdays – [then] this is something legislated for every month, for every day.
The Sunnah of the Messenger ﷺ is well known; fasting Mondays and Thursdays, and fasting for three days every month, and fasting one day and breaking the fast the next day, these are are [all] legislated deeds.
However, to single out a specific day or month which has not been legislated by Allaah, then this is not permissible for us except with evidence from Allaah and from His Messenger ﷺ.
