All praise is due to Allah, Lord of the worlds \u2014 we ask Allah to extol and praise the Prophet in the highest gathering, and send His peace upon him. To proceed:<\/p>\n
Specifying the month of Rajab with the particular prayers and dhikr, or what the misguided ones call \u1e62al\u0101t al-Ragh\u0101\u02beib, or celebrating the night of the 27th of Rajab \u2014 claiming that it is the night of al-Isr\u0101\u02be and al-Mi\u02bfr\u0101j \u2014 all of that is innovation and is not permissible. It has no basis in Shar\u012b\u2019ah and Religion.<\/p>\n
Specifying this month of Rajab for Du\u2019\u0101s, special Dhikr evenings, gatherings and feeding the people is all misguidance \u2014 and was never practised by the Prophet, his family or his Companions.<\/p>\n
The scholars of Hadith and Sunnah from the people of knowledge have drawn attention to this, and they have written about it on more than one occasion, clarifying to the people that these are innovations. There is a Sal\u0101h (called Ragh\u0101\u2019ib) that some people perform on the first Friday night of Rajab \u2014 there is no proof for this in the Quran or Sunnah.<\/p>\n
The exact night of al-Isr\u0101\u02be and al-Mi\u02bfr\u0101j is not known, and even if it were known, it would not be permissible to celebrate it, because the Prophet \ufdfa did not celebrate it \u2014nor did his Rightly Guided Caliphs, nor the rest of his Companions \u0631\u0636\u064a \u0627\u0644\u0644\u0647 \u0639\u0646\u0647\u0645. Had it been a Sunnah, they would have preceded us in it.<\/p>\n
All goodness lies in following them and proceeding upon their methodology, as Allah, the Most High, said:<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd the foremost, the first of the Muh\u0101jir\u012bn and the Ans\u0101r, and those who followed them with excellence\u2014Allah is pleased with them, and they are pleased with Him, and He has prepared for them Gardens beneath which rivers flow, to abide therein forever. That is the great success.\u201d<\/strong> [At-Tawbah 9:100]<\/p>\n And it is authentically reported from the Messenger of Allah \ufdfa that he said: \u201cWhoever introduces into this affair of ours that which is not from it, it is rejected.\u201d<\/strong><\/em> (Bukhari and Muslim)<\/p>\n So it is obligatory upon all Muslims to follow the Sunnah, to remain steadfast upon it, and to enjoin one another with it, and to beware of all innovations.<\/p>\n The Shi\u2019ah and Sufis have no basis for singling out this month except their imaginations and the whisperings of devils that lead them to innovate actions and beliefs into the Islamic faith.<\/p>\n As for \u02bfUmrah, there is no harm in performing it in the month of Rajab, due to what is established by Bukhari and Muslim from Ibn \u02bfUmar \u0631\u0636\u064a \u0627\u0644\u0644\u0647 \u0639\u0646\u0647\u0645\u0627 that the Prophet \ufdfa performed \u02bfUmrah in Rajab.<\/p>\n The Salaf used to perform \u02bfUmrah in Rajab, as was mentioned by Al-Imam Ibn Rajab \u0631\u062d\u0645\u0647 \u0627\u0644\u0644\u0647 in his book al-La\u1e6d\u0101\u02beif<\/em> from \u02bfUmar, Ibn \u2018Umar, and \u02bf\u0100\u02beishah \u0631\u0636\u064a \u0627\u0644\u0644\u0647 \u0639\u0646\u0647\u0645.<\/p>\n And Ibn Rajab cited from Ibn S\u012br\u012bn, that the Salaf used to do that. And Allah is the One who grants success.<\/p>\n Abu Khadeejah<\/p>\n Ref: Fatawa of Shaikh Ibn B\u0101z.<\/p>\n
