What is the ruling on one who vows to fast the month of Rajab believing in its virtue?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, some people vow to fast in Rajab because they believe in its virtue.

Answer:
The vow is not obligatory; because the vow is a sin. Whoever vows to disobey Allah, he should not disobey. It is a bid'ah (religious innovation), because it becomes a bid'ah.
