What is the ruling on specifically singling out the fifteenth day of Sha'ban for fasting?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

Fasting on the 15th of Sha'ban has not been reported in the Prophetic Sunnah or the actions of the Companions; it is an innovated matter. An exception to this is for those who have a customary fast, such as fasting alternate days, or the White Days, or Mondays and Thursdays, or one who vowed a fast and it coincided with that day.
