Shaykh ‘Abd al-‘Azeez Ibn Bāz  رَحِمَهُ الله said:

“From the Bid’ahs which have been introduced into the religion by people is the Bid’ah of celebrating the Mid-Sha’ban night and fasting on its day. There is no reliable evidence for such actions.”

 [Fatwas of Ibn Bāz, (1/186-187) | Alifta]

Shaykh ‘Abd al-‘Azeez Ibn Bāz  رَحِمَهُ الله said:

“What the majority of Muslim scholars agreed upon is that the celebration of Mid-Sha’ban night is Bid’ah and that the Hadiths reported regarding the virtue of this night are all weak and some of them are fabricated.”

 [Fatwas of Ibn Bāz, (1/187) | Alifta]

It was said to Ibn Abi Mulaykah رَحِمَهُ الله from the Tabi’en that Ziyad al Numayri was saying:

“Verily, the reward of worshipping on the 15th night of Sha’ban is that of the Night of Decree.”

Ibn Abi Mulaykah responded, “If I heard him saying this and I had a stick, I would have struck him with it.”

Sticking to the Sunnah and Leaving Bidah!

وَمَن يُشَاقِقِ ٱلرَّسُولَ مِنۢ بَعْدِ مَا تَبَيَّنَ لَهُ ٱلْهُدَىٰ وَيَتَّبِعْ غَيْرَ سَبِيلِ ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ نُوَلِّهِۦ مَا تَوَلَّىٰ وَنُصْلِهِۦ جَهَنَّمَ ۖ وَسَآءَتْ مَصِيرًا

“And whoever contradicts and opposes the Messenger (Muhammad ﷺ) after the right path has been shown clearly to him, and follows other than the believers’ way, We shall keep him in the path he has chosen, and burn him in Hell – what an evil destination.”

Qur’an 4:115
