Does the month of Rajab have any special merit over the other months?

The questioner:
May Allah reward you. The brother Mazen from Jeddah says: Honorable Shaykh, it is our custom to increase our good deeds in Rajab. I have read some hadiths in one of the books available in the libraries stating that this month has a special merit over the other months of the year. I ask the Shaykh to answer us on this matter.

The Shaykh:
The month of Rajab has no special merit of its own; rather, it is like the other months, because no evidence from the Book or the Sunnah has been established regarding its virtue or the virtue of performing specific deeds in it. So, whoever is engaged in continuous good deeds throughout the year, he continues with them in Rajab. However, to single out Rajab for a specific act of worship has no evidence for it. Yes.

The presenter:
May Allah reward you.

The Shaykh:
What you read about this has no basis; it is a collection of what has been mentioned without being established from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). Yes.
