Question

What is the virtue of passing away on a Friday?

Answer

The virtue for passing away on a Friday is that Allah Ta'ala will save the deceased from the punishment of the grave. It is reported from Hazrat Abdullah bin Amr (radhiyallahu anhu) that Rasulullah (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) said:

There is no Muslim who passes away during the day of Jumuah or the night of Jumuah except that Allah Ta'ala saves him from the punishment of the grave.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
