    Bismillah hir-Rahman nir-Rahim !

    (Fatwa: 1287/1146=B)

     

    (1) Celebrating this night is not Islamically proved. We should not do any thing special this night, but should spend the night as usual.

     

    (2) Those who are ignorant they should not be given the proofs; since they may not understand them. Secondly, they may generalize specific cases to more general cases; it may lead them to deviation.
