Celebrating the 27th night of Ramadan
Q 2: What is the ruling on celebrating the twenty-seventh night of Ramadan in particular?
A: Celebrating the twenty-seventh night of Ramadan in particular is a Bid`ah. It is authentically reported that the Prophet (peace be upon him) said: {Anyone who introduces anything into this matter of ours (Islam) that is not part of it will have it rejected.}[1] (Related by Al-Bukhari and Muslim) The manner legislated by Islam is to spend this night in `Ibadah (worship), give Sadaqah (voluntary charity) and the like, as done during the rest of the last ten nights of Ramadan.
[1]Al-Bukhari, Sahih, Book on reconciliation, no. 2697; Muslim, Sahih, Book on judicial decisions, no. 1718; Abu Dawud, Sunan, Book on Al-Sunnah, no. 4606; Ibn Majah, Sunan, Introduction, no. 14; and Ahmad, Musnad, vol. 6, p. 240.
May Allah grant us success! May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family and Companions.
