The ruling on singling out the month of Rajab for fasting and prayer

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. We move on to another question. This questioner, Mu'adh Ahmad from Jeddah, says: Does the month of Rajab have any special status regarding fasting and prayer?

Answer:
The month of Rajab has no special status, neither in fasting nor in prayer. Rather, it is like the other months, except that it is one of the sacred months in which fighting is forbidden. It has no special status other than that. It is not established that the month of Rajab is singled out for any specific act of worship. This is a sound proof. Therefore, it is not singled out for any act of worship, but it is like the other months. Yes.
