Is someone who dies at the time of the Maghrib Adhan on Friday considered to have died on Friday or Saturday, taking into account that the Islamic day begins with the sighting of the crescent moon, and the questioner felt the soul depart shortly before the Adhan?

We ask Allah for mercy and forgiveness for your father and all deceased Muslims.
Friday begins at sunset on Thursday and ends at sunset on Friday. It has been reported that whoever dies on this day is protected from the torment of the grave.
Dying on a day other than Friday is not an indication of the deceased's bad state, as many Companions and righteous people, including the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, died on days other than Friday.
