Ruling on Designating Specific Acts of Worship in the Month of Rajab
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Q 164: The questioner says: We designate certain nights in the month of Rajab for acts of worship, such as glorifying Allah at night, praying, and standing in prayer on Monday and Thursday nights?
A 164: This is a religious innovation (bid'ah), and Rajab is not designated for fasting or prayer; rather, it is like the other months. As for the month of Rajab, it is one of the sacred months in which fighting is forbidden. As for designating it with a specific act of worship, such as fasting, prayer, certain nights, a sacrifice, or anything else, all of this is among the false, newly invented innovations.
