It is believed by some that the Muslims should keep fast on 27th of Rajab. Although there are some traditions attributing special merits to the fast of this day yet the scholars of hadith have held these traditions as very weak and unauthentic reports which cannot be sufficient to establish a rule of Shari'ah. On the contrary, there is an authentic report that Sayyidna Umar رضي الله تعالى عنه used to forbid people from fasting on this day, rather to compel them to eat if they had started fasting. |

It is also deemed to be a prelude to the month of Ramadan, because the month Ramadan follows it after the intervening month of Sha'ban.
