SAFAR
No specific modes of worship or special rules are set by the Shari'ah to observe this month.
Definition
The word Safar means "whistling of the wind". As most of the months were named according to weather conditions, at the time when this name was assigned it was probably a windy time of the year. However, being a lunar calendar, the months shift about 11 days every year so, the seasons do not necessarily correspond to the name of the month anymore.
Performing a sacrifice on the 6th day of this month is an innovation.
