Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: Does charity on behalf of the deceased specifically on Friday have any special merit in the Shari'ah?
Answer:
No, this is a bid'ah (religious innovation) to specify Friday for charity on behalf of the deceased. This is a bid'ah. Charity is prescribed on any day of the year, especially at times of need. If a person becomes needy, you say, “Come on Friday and I will give to you,” but he is needy now. Yes.
