The Ruling on Singling Out the Month of Rajab for Fasting

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Some people fast in the month of Rajab and believe that it has a special virtue among the months. What is the ruling on this practice?

Answer:
This practice is not prescribed. Nothing specific regarding deeds has been established for the month of Rajab; rather, it is like the other months. So whoever has a regular deed he persists in, let him persist in it in Rajab and in other months. And whoever singles out Rajab for a specific deed, that is a bid'ah (religious innovation) for which no evidence has been established. Yes.
