Shab-e-Baraat: Bidah or Islamic Practice?

Answered by 

Shaykh Ebrahim Salejee

Q: Is celebrating Shab-e-Baraat a Bidah? Some people offer special night prayer (Salaah) and do fateha. What are the Islamic rulings regarding this?

Bismillaah

A: The hadeeth has taught us to engage ourselves in ibaadat on this night.

And Allah Ta’ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
