Sha'ban (con't)

my bad.

i should've mentioned there's some controversy as to whether or not the 15th of Sha'ban is a night in which extra dhikr [remembrance (of Allah)] of Allah SWT should be sought out.

Based on the fact that there are valid differences of opinion between the scholars, no one should condemn another for enlivening this night or for not doing so. Those who choose to seek the benefit of mid-Sha’baan by enlivening its night and fasting its day are following the opinion of Imam al-Awzaa’i and others. As for those who choose not to do so, they are abiding by the opinion of Imam Malik and others. Hence, there is no blame on choosing to follow either opinion.
