Fasting On 27th Rajab - Muwasala
Answered by Sayyidi Habib Umar bin Ha z (may Allah protect him and bene t us
by him)
Is it recommended to fast on the day after the night of the Isra and
Mi`raj (27th Rajab)?
Generally speaking fasting in the sacred months is better than fasting in the other
months. There is a sound hadith in which Ibn `Umar was asked whether the Prophet
ﷺused to fast in Rajab. He said: “Yes, and he would ennoble it (meaning the month
of Rajab).” Some of the pious recommend fasting on the day of the of the Isra and
Mi`raj but it is not something that has been directly narrated on the authority of the
Prophet ﷺ. Above all we should seek a true connection with the Prophet, the one
who was taken on the Isra and Mi`raj.
