What is the importance of 13th, 21st, 22nd, and27th of the Islamic month
of Rajab.
Praise be to Allaah.
There is nothing special about these particular days at all. All the days of Rajab are
special, with no exception, because Rajab is one of the Sacred Months, like Dhoo’l-
Qi’dah, Dhoo’l-Hijjah and Muharram.
The thirteenth day of each month - not just Rajab - is one of the three Ayyaam al-Beed
(white days) on which it is encouraged to fast. These days are the 13th, 14th, and 15th
of each hijri month.
Many of those who follow bid’ah (innovations) think that there is something special
about certain days and do special acts of worship on those days, with no sound
Islaamic basis or evidence (daleel). Their deeds are not acceptable, because they have
innovated something in the religion of Allaah without the permission of Allaah.
We ask Allaah to help us follow the Sunnah and avoid bid’ah. May Allaah bless our
Prophet Muhammad
