What is the ruling on Celebrating the night of the Isra? and Mi?raaj, which is the twenty-seventh night of Rajab? (2) Someone told me that people who do taqleed should ask the scholars for daleel so they can learn more about the deen. What is your opinion regarding this issue?
Answer
(Fatwa: 1287/1146=B)
(1) Celebrating this night is not Islamically proved. We should not do any thing special this night, but should spend the night as usual.
(2) Those who are ignorant they should not be given the proofs; since they may not understand them. Secondly, they may generalize specific cases to more general cases; it may lead them to deviation.
