Summary
According to the scholars cited, no authentic hadith establishes a specific virtue or act of worship for Rejab, and the particular narrations about it are judged weak or fabricated. Even so, a person is not prevented from fasting, performing voluntary prayers, giving charity and doing other good deeds in this month. The condition is that he does not believe these acts carry a specific virtue. Rejab is among the sacred months, which are known to have merit over other months.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Setelah kami melihat dan menekuni pendapat para ulama' dalam masalah ini, kami cenderung untuk mengatakan bahawa bulan Rejab tidak mempunyai apa-apa kelebihan yang khusus daripada hadith-hadith yang sahih seperti amal ibadat tertentu.
