The Ruling on the Hadiths Regarding the Virtue of Dying on Certain Days
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Is it true that the one who dies on Friday, or on Monday, or in the month of Ramadan, or on the ninth day of Dhul-Hijjah, that Allah will admit him to Paradise and erase all his sins? May Allah reward you with good, and I hope you will correct people’s concepts regarding this. May Allah reward you.
Answer:
It is not correct, and there is no basis for this. There are hadiths regarding Friday, but they are weak and not authentic. They state that whoever dies on it is forgiven, but they are not authentic. However, good is hoped for the one who dies in the aftermath of worship, in the aftermath of his fasting, in the aftermath of fasting on the Day of 'Arafah, or in the aftermath of Hajj; good is hoped for him. This is if he dies during the time of worship, or in the midst of worship. Good is hoped for him. The Salaf hoped for good for the one who dies in worship, or in the aftermath of worship, when he departs from Hajj, when he breaks his fast from Ramadan, when he fasts on the Day of 'Arafah, and the like of that. Yes.
The presenter: May Allah reward you with good. So, do these count as good news, O Shaykh?
The Shaykh: Yes, if Allah wills, good is hoped for him from it. This deed for which he died, good is hoped for him through it, meaning: he takes a good omen from it.
The presenter: O Allah, amen. May Allah reward you with good.
