The sacred months have already been defined, as has the issue of multiplying good deeds and sins within them, and the interpretation of Allah's saying: "So do not wrong yourselves therein." Also, the ruling on fighting during them was mentioned, and it is recommended to fast in them. They are: Dhu al-Qadah, Dhu al-Hijjah, Muharram, and Rajab, with Muharram being the most virtuous among them.
