The answer

There is no specific for fasting the month of Rajab, and all the hadiths reported concerning it are fabricated. However, Rajab is one of the Sacred Months, during which the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, encouraged fasting. As for the month of Sha'ban, the Sunnah is to fast frequently during it, following the example of the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, who used to fast a great deal during it and say: "It is a month in which deeds are raised to the Lord of the worlds, and I love for my deeds to be raised while I am fasting."
