Salafis and even now lately some Deobandi molvis deny the validity of the holiness of the 15th Sha'baan.

Answer

Their denial is old stupid hat. We as well as many other Ulama have adequately responded to the invalid claims and baseless arguments of those who deny the validity of the auspiciousness of the 15th of Sha‟baan. A brief refutation by the Grand Imaam of the Salafis, namely Shaikh Ibn Taimiyyah suffices to nail the Salafis. Ibn Taimiyyah states in this regard:

"The 15th Night of Sha‟baan: Verily Ahaadith Marfooah and Athaar narrated in this regard establish the auspiciousness of this Night… The majority of our Ulama and others besides them state the significance of it (the 15th Night). And Ahmad (Imaam Hambal) has explicitly stated this on the basis of many Ahaadith and the testimony of the narrations of the Salaf." (Iqtidhaau Siraatil Mustaqeem)

This should be more than adequate for the moron Salafis.
