Is there a specific ruling or virtue for voluntary fasting on 27 Rajab in commemoration of Isra' Mi'raj?
Short answer
A voluntary fast is only regarded as recommended when there is a text from the Quran or hadith encouraging it.

Summary
A voluntary fast is only regarded as recommended when there is a text from the Quran or hadith encouraging it. Fasting on 27 Rajab is not among the recommended voluntary fasts, unless it falls on a Monday or Thursday. The fatwa also notes that scholars of history differ on whether Isra' Mi'raj took place on 27 Rajab.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Berdasarkan kitab ini, dan juga dalil-dalil yang dikemukakan jelas menunjukkan kepada kita bahawa puasa 27 Rejab tidak dianggap termasuk dalam puasa-puasa sunat yang dituntut kecuali ia berlaku pada hari Isnin atau hari Khamis.
