Taking Friday as a weekly holiday

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is taking Friday as a weekly holiday imitating the disbelievers?

Answer:
It is not permissible to take Friday as a weekly holiday. This is not permissible. However, people should devote themselves to the Friday prayer, be excused from their official work, and reduce their commercial work for the sake of the Friday prayer. This means they have made it a day of leisure. Yes.
