    Question: what is the importance of 22 rajab? should we perform nazr or not?

    Answer ID: 24622

    Bismillah hir-Rahman nir-Rahim !

    (Fatwa: 1266/996/D=1431)

    According to Shariah, it has no importance. Rawafiz have introduced wrong notions among the Ahl al-Sunnah. On 22nd Rajab, Hadhrat Amir Muavia (رضي الله عنه) who was a great sahabi died. Rawafiz hated him, hence, out of hatred towards him, they cooked tasty meals and fed people and introduced it among Ahl al-Sunnah. They presented it as the fatiha of Hadhrat Jafar Sadiq (رضى الله عنه) and named it Konda. The custom of Konda is baseless. It is the sign of Rawafiz's hatred towards sahaba who are the enemies of Sahaba. Hence, we should shun it completely.
