Should we fast on 12 Rabbi ul Awwal?

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Darulifta-Deoband.com
Can we do Fasting (Roza) on the day of birth of Prophet Mohammad (SAW) i.e 12 Rabbi ul Awwal?
Answer
(Fatwa: 169/M= 171/M)
It is allowed to observe fast on 12th Rabi-ul-Awwal, but there is no special virtue or reward of fasting in this particular day from any Hadith, therefore one should not consider it as necessary.
