What is the ruling on designating Friday, the day off, specifically for visiting graves?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: A person’s day off is on Friday. Is it permissible for him to designate this day, because it is his day off, for going to the cemetery to visit graves?

Answer:
Yes, but there is no evidence for designating Friday or any other day. He may visit the cemetery on any day of the week that suits his available time, and there is no harm in that, provided he does not designate a specific day. Yes.
