Is the night of Friday prior to its day or attached to it?

Question:
Yes. May Allah reward you. Honorable Shaykh, this questioner says: Is the night of Friday attached to its day, or prior to it, regarding the virtue of dying on Friday or its night?

Answer:
The scholars say that every night is attached to the day that follows it, except for the night of 'Arafah. The night of 'Arafah is followed by the night of the tenth, whereas the rest of the nights are all attached to the days that precede them; every day has its night before it, except for the day of 'Arafah, whose night is the one after it, the night of the tenth. For this reason, it is valid to stand at 'Arafah until the dawn of the night of the tenth breaks, and if one stood on the night of the ninth, that would not suffice him, because that night is not attached to it. Yes, and this is from the mercy of Allah (Mighty and Majestic) and His expansion of relief for the Muslims. Yes.
