Question
Some Ulama are saying that there is no significance for fasting on the 15th Day of Sha'baan nor is the 15th Night of Sha'baan a Night of special significance. They say that the Ahaadith in this regard are fabrications. Please comment.
Answer
The 15th Night of Sha'baan is a night of significance and so is the 15th day. Fasting on that day is Sunnah. The claim of fabrication is incorrect. The significance of Sha'baan, i.e. the 15th Night and Day, has been the view and practice of all our Akaabireen since time immemorial. Deviates are at pains to create confusion with their concocted views.
