Describing Friday as a festival

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Is it permissible in the Shari'ah to describe Friday as a day of festival, given that some people say there are three festivals in Islam: 'Id al-Fitr, 'Id al-Adha, and Friday?

Answer:
Friday is the festival of the week. It remains a festival and is called as such; Friday is only the festival of the week. As for the annual festival, it is 'Id al-Fitr and 'Id al-Adha; this is the annual festival. Yes.
