assalamualaikum, what do the islamic scholars say about the following masala: is there any virtures of fasting on the day of 15th shabaan? is it based on any hadith? i wanted to know if there is any hadith separately regarding the fast on the day 15 shabaan, please with quotations?
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.
Allah (Subhana Wa Ta’ala) knows Best
