Summary
The fatwa states that the source of the Rajab istighfar hadith and its specific virtues for the month of Rajab was not found in any reliable hadith book. Seeking forgiveness in general remains encouraged, since authentic hadith report that the Prophet sought forgiveness at least seventy to one hundred times a day. Muslims are advised to increase their istighfar in daily life.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
