The Ruling on Designating Specific Days of the Week for Prayer
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
And regarding the night of the Mi'raj, the thousandth of the middle of Sha'ban, and praying on Sunday and Monday, and other such days of the week, even if some authors have mentioned them in works of spiritual exhortation, there is no dispute among those knowledgeable in hadith that all of his hadiths are fabricated, and none of the imams of the religion recommended them. In Sahih Muslim, from Abu Hurayrah, from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), he said: The hadiths mentioned regarding fasting on Friday and the nights of the two festivals are lies attributed to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). And Allah knows best. He was asked about the Prayer of al-Ragha'ib: Is it recommended or not?
Answer:
May Allah bless you.

In Sahih Muslim, from Abu Hurayrah, from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), he said:
Do not single out the night of Friday for standing in prayer, nor the day of Friday for fasting.
لا تخصوا ليلة الجمعة بقيام، ولا يوم الجمعة بصيام.Answer:
May Allah bless you.
