Summary
Dying on Friday is linked to protection from the punishment or trial of the grave. The hadith is narrated from Abdullah bin Amr, Anas bin Malik and Jabir bin Abdullah, and each narration is graded weak to differing degrees. Because the narrations strengthen one another, the article classifies the hadith as hasan lighayrih, following the principles of hadith scholars such as al-Tirmidhi and Ibn al-Salah.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Oleh itu, hadis fadilat meninggal dunia pada hari Jumaat dapat dihukumkan sebagai hasan lighayrih.
