Singling out the month of Rajab for worship
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Singling out certain months for righteous deeds; some people believe that Rajab has specific acts of worship and night prayers,
Answer:
The month of Rajab is not singled out for worship to the exclusion of other months, for this is an innovation in the religion. Rajab is like the other months, except that it is one of the sacred months in which Allah forbade fighting. The scholars differed on whether this was abrogated in Islam, or whether the prohibition remains. Allah knows best. But the sacred months are Shawwal, Dhu al-Qa'dah, and Dhu al-Hijjah; these are three, and the fourth is Rajab. As for singling out Rajab for worship to the exclusion of other months, this has no basis. Yes.

May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh
