Is it an innovation to specify certain days of the month of Rajab for fasting, and is it obligatory to fast the remaining Sacred Months, and what is the meaning of specification in fasting or prayer, and is it permissible to intend to fast certain days of a specific month in recognition of the virtue of that month?

Fasting the White Days in Rajab is not an innovation (bid'ah). There is no harm in singling out Rajab for fasting the White Days therein, given that it is one of the Sacred Months.
