The Ruling on Singling Out the Month of Rajab for Worship
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner, a Sudanese from Riyadh, says: Honorable Shaykh, what is the ruling on increasing righteous deeds, especially in the middle of Rajab, such as fasting, charity, and standing in night prayer? Is there any evidence for this in the Sunnah?
Answer:
Increasing righteous deeds is required, for the human being is in need of that. As for singling out Rajab for a specific act of worship, this is a bid'ah (religious innovation), because it is not established that the month of Rajab is singled out for acts of worship that are not done in other months. Yes. May Allah reward you with good and bless you.
