The Virtue of the Month of Rajab, Fasting in It, and Standing the Night of Its Middle
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh:
Allah. What Allah willed. What? Yes.
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: The month of Rajab will enter in a few days, if Allah wills. Does this month have a special virtue of its own? Also, is fasting in it and standing in prayer on the night of the fifteenth prescribed?
The Shaykh:
The scholars have stated that it is not permissible to designate the month of Rajab specifically for any acts of worship, because nothing has been established regarding it. It is a month like all other months; no evidence has been established for designating it with a specific act of worship to the exclusion of others. Therefore, it is not to be designated specifically.
