The Ruling on Fasting the Entire Month of Rajab
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
What is the ruling for one who fasts the entire month of Rajab, just as he fasts Ramadan? This question is from the listener Ali Uthman Muhammad.
Answer:
Fasting Rajab is disliked; because it is from the practice of the pre-Islamic age of ignorance, he should not fast it. Many scholars have explicitly stated its dislike; because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade fasting Rajab.
The point is that it is from the practice of the pre-Islamic age of ignorance, so, no. But if he fasts some days, Monday, Thursday; it does no harm, or three days of every month; there is nothing wrong with it. But if he intentionally fasts it; then this is disliked.
The presenter : May Allah bless you.
