Singling out the month of Rajab for worship

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, is there any evidence regarding singling out Rajab for worship and prayers, and also some other acts of worship such as standing in night prayer and the like?

Answer:
Never. Rajab has no special status except that it is one of the sacred months.
Indeed, the number of months with Allah is twelve [lunar] months in the register of Allah [from] the day He created the heavens and the earth; of these, four are sacred.إِنَّ عِدَّةَ الشُّهُورِ عِندَ اللَّهِ اثْنَا عَشَرَ شَهْرًا فِي كِتَابِ اللَّهِ يَوْمَ خَلَقَ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضَ مِنْهَا أَرْبَعَةٌ حُرُمٌ
[At-Tawbah 9:36]
, three consecutive and one separate, which is Rajab. In these months, fighting is forbidden. Yes.
