Answer

(Fatwa: 1310/1033/D=1431)

عن على رضى الله عنه عن النبى صلى الله عليه وسلم إذا كان ليلة النصف من شعبان فقوموا ليلها و صوموا نهارها فإن الله تعلى ينزل فيها لغروب الشمس إلى السماء الدنيا فيقول الحديث . رواه ابن ماجه (مشكوة 115)
There are some more hadith on the same topic in which keeping fast on fifteenth of Shaban was emphasized; hence fasting on the day is mustahab.
