The three Bidaat regarding the month of Shabaan⚠ Shaikh Muhammad Ibn Saaleh al-Uthaymeen رحمه الله said: “I would like to warn against the three things which are done in the middle of Shabaan: 1⃣)The First issue: Amongst the general mass, there are many people who think that the night of the middle of Shabaan (i.e. the 15th of Shabaan) is Laylatul-Qadr (the Night of Decree) and that one (who prays in this night) gets the reward that has been mentioned in the Sunnah (i.e. his previous sins would be forgiven). But what is known is that Laylatul-Qadr occurs in the month of Ramadhaan. . . 2⃣)The Second issue: Some people specially mark this night (of the middle of Shabaan) by establishing prayers in the night and Fasting in the day, based upon the Weak Ahaadeeth. Since these Ahaadeeth are not authentic, then specially marking out the middle of Shabaan for establishing night prayers should not be done... . . 3⃣)The Third issue: Some people specially prepare food on the 15th of Shabaan and invite others over it or they distribute it to the neighbors and relatives believing that there is more virtue if one does it specially on this night. But I say: The matter is not like (how they perceive). Nothing has been legislated that one should mark this night by specially preparing food or inviting people for food or giving out Sadaqah (charity). It is like any other day, one should prepare food on this day like the way he does on any other day of the year...
