Question:
Is the Salat al-Raghayib, which is prayed in the month of Rajab, valid, or is it a bid'ah (religious innovation)?
Answer:
I do not pray the Salat al-Raghayib, which is prayed in the month of Rajab. Everything narrated regarding the virtue of deeds specifically in the month of Rajab has no basis and no evidence for it. The month of Rajab is like any other month, except that it is one of the sacred months. However, singling it out for a specific prayer, or for fasting, or for any deeds specific to Rajab, has no evidence for it and is considered a bid'ah (religious innovation).
