Is it sunnah to worship specifically in the month of Rajab

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم

Bid'ah In The Month Of Rajab

Sh. Ṣāliḥ al-Fawzān (حفظه الله تعالى) was asked the following:

Question:

"There are those who single out the month of Rajab with fast; hence, is [there] anything that is confirmed [in the Sunnah to support this]?"

Answer:

The Shaikh had responded with the following:

"There is nothing that is confirmed from worship that is specifically to the month of Rajab; no fasting, no salāḥ, no 'Umrah-absolutely nothing at all specific to it.

[As for] those who are singling it out with worship, then they are the innovators since they introduced into the deen that which is not from it.

Thus, Allah and His Messenger did not legislate any specific form of worship in Rajab; no 'Umrah, no animal sacrifice, no standing [in salāḥ] in any specific night and no fasting in any specific day. Rajab is simply like any other (sacred) month.

The month of al-Muḥarram ([like Rajab) is sacred, since it is from the four sacred months. 

As for singling it out with worship, then this from innovation."
