Dalil Al-Qur’an

The month of Rajab is one of the holy months full of blessings, as Allah says in the letter At-taubah verse 36:

إِنَّ عِدَّةَ ٱلشُّهُورِ عِندَ ٱللَّهِ ٱثْنَا عَشَرَ شَهْرًا فِى كِتَٰبِ ٱللَّهِ يَوْمَ خَلَقَ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضَ مِنْهَآ أَرْبَعَةٌ حُرُمٌ ۚ ذَٰلِكَ ٱلدِّينُ ٱلْقَيِّمُ ۚ فَلَا تَظْلِمُوا۟ فِيهِنَّ أَنفُسَكُمْ ۚ وَقَٰتِلُوا۟ ٱلْمُشْرِكِينَ كَآفَّةً كَمَا يُقَٰتِلُونَكُمْ كَآفَّةً ۚ وَٱعْلَمُوٓا۟ أَنَّ ٱللَّهَ مَعَ ٱلْمُتَّقِينَ

That means :
“Indeed, the number of months in the sight of Allah is twelve months, in the decree of Allah when He created the earth and the heavens, between the forbidden months (holy month). That is the right religion, so do not wrong yourselves in the fourth month” (QS. At-taubah; verse 36).

According to Syech Nawawi Banten

Fasting in the month of Rajab is recommended. The reason, we are encouraged to fast sunnah in the great months according to the religion as the evidence of Sheikh Nawawi Banten following:

والعاشر صوم أيام الأشهر الحرم وهي أربعة المحرم ورجب وذو القعدة وذو الحجة. وأفضل الشهور رمضان ثم المحرم ثم رجب ثم ذو الحجة ثم وذو القعدة ثم شعبان. وظاهر كلامهم أن باقي شهور السنة على حد سواء

That means, "The tenth fast in the honorable months, that is four months: Muharram, Rajab, Dzulqa‘dah, and Dzulhijjah. The most important month is Ramadan, then Muharram, then Rajab, next Dzulhijjah, then Dzulqa‘dah, then Sha'ban. Their words are seen in zohir, saying that in months other than those mentioned the extinction is the same, ”
