Therefore, offering supererogatory prayers cannot be considered to  be a Bid`ah. One can worship his Lord as much as one can. And it is up  to the individual to ascertain when to offer supererogatory prayers. He  can offer as much as he can for example during Ramadan or any other  time, which seems more appropriate time for the purpose. However,  declaring it a religious obligation and then setting out to offer  prayers on these occasion and condemning those who do not join us would  be a Bid`ah and cannot be condoned in any case. In this case you are  attaching to the religion what the Almighty has not declared a  religiously binding act.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Answered by:<\/strong> Tariq Mahmood Hashmi<\/p>\n<p><strong>Date:<\/strong> 2015-01-03<\/p>\n<button class=\"simplefavorite-button\" data-postid=\"6331\" data-siteid=\"1\" data-groupid=\"1\" data-favoritecount=\"0\" style=\"\">Favorite <i class=\"sf-icon-star-empty\"><\/i><\/button>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Should one pray specifically  on shab-e-mairaaj (night of accession) and shab-e-baarat or does that  fall under &#8220;bid\u2019ah&#8221; (innovations in religion) as I could not find any  Ahadith regarding praying specifically on these nights.
