The questioner : What is the ruling on dedicating the month of Rajab to 'Umrah, fasting, or any righteous deed, and does it have any distinction over the other sacred months?
The Shaykh : The month of Rajab has no distinction over the other sacred months, and it is not dedicated to 'Umrah, fasting, prayer, or reciting the Qur'an; rather, it is like the other sacred months. All the hadiths regarding its virtue, meaning the virtue of praying in it or fasting in it, are weak and no legal ruling is based on them.
