Q: Ruling regarding “Shab-e-Barath” , is it not “Biddah”?
A: No. To stand up in ibaadat on that night and to fast is mustahab.
و عن أبي سلمة أن عائشة رضي الله عنها حدثته قالت لم يكن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم يصوم شهرا أكثر من شعبان فإنه كان يصوم شعبان كله وكان يقول خذوا من العمل ما تطيقون فإن الله لا يمل حتى تملوا وأحب الصلاة إلى النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم ما دووم عليه وإن قلت وكان إذا صلى صلاة داوم عليها (صحيح البخاري 1/264، باب صوم شعبان)
