Designating Friday for a specific act of worship
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Your Eminence is asked, saying: What did the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) do on Friday?
Answer:
I do not know that he (peace and blessings be upon him) designated Friday for anything specific. He did not designate it for fasting, nor did he designate its night for standing in prayer. However, it is a noble day, a day of recitation, a day of remembrance, and a day of prayer as an act of worship. So I do not know of anything that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) designated specifically for Friday, except that it is narrated from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him):Al-Mustadrak lil-Hakim 25:518 or as he said, (peace and blessings be upon him).
This was also reported from Abu Sa'id al-Khudri with a sound chain of narration that he used to recite Surah al-Kahf on Friday, and it was also reported from Ibn 'Umar. So it is recommended to recite Surah al-Kahf on Friday. As for designating it for fasting, or for specific charity, or for visiting graves, or the like, I do not know of any basis for it. Yes.
The presenter : May Allah reward you with good.
