The ruling on singling out the month of Rajab for fasting and night prayer

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner says: Is there any report regarding fasting in Rajab?

Answer:
Nothing has been reported regarding fasting in Rajab, nor regarding standing in prayer in it or in its nights. Nothing of that has been reported, and nothing is established from the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him). All the reports (athar) that have come regarding it are not authentic and are not relied upon. The month of Rajab is not singled out for any act of worship over other months, neither by fasting, nor by standing in prayer, nor by slaughtering, nor by anything else. Yes.
