Will Someone Who Dies on a Friday Go Straight to Paradise?
Answered by Mawlana Ilyas Patel
Question
Will someone who dies on a Friday go straight to Paradise?
Answer
In the Name of Allah, the Most Merciful and Compassionate
I pray you are well.
Abdullah bin Amr narrated that the Messenger of Allah (Allah bless him and give him peace) said: “No Muslim dies on the day of Friday, nor the night of Friday, except that Allah (Most High) protects him from the trials of the grave.” [Tirmidhi]
It is possible that the punishment is withheld for that day or even permanently. [Ibn ‘Abidin, Radd al-Muhtar]
Death on the eve of Friday or the day of Friday is a glad tiding and good sign of a person’s final end state. We hope that Allah (Most High) grants us all good works and sound faith before we leave this world, amin
I pray this helps with your question.
Wassalam,
