Guidance on the innovations and acts of worship that occur in Rajab
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This is a questioner for the program who says: Your Eminence! In the month of Rajab, innovations are numerous. Do you have a word for those who introduce innovations and acts of worship in this month, I mean the month of Rajab?
Answer:
The month of Rajab has no recommended practices (sunnah), but there is nothing wrong with performing the lesser pilgrimage ('Umrah) in it. Whoever performs 'Umrah in Rajab, the Salaf used to perform 'Umrah in Rajab, and it is established from Ibn 'Umar (may Allah be pleased with him and his father) that “the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) performed 'Umrah in Rajab.” So performing 'Umrah in Rajab is permissible.
As for designating it with other acts of worship, there is no basis for that, but it is like the other months. If he prays in it, or fasts three days of every month, or fasts Mondays and Thursdays, like the rest of the months, it is not designated with anything. Yes, except if he performs 'Umrah in it, then there is nothing wrong with that. Yes.
The presenter: May Allah reward you with good, O Shaykh.
