Is it true that whoever dies on a Friday is judged on a Saturday?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

It has not been authentically reported in any sound hadith that whoever dies on Friday will be judged on Saturday. Rather, what has been reported in the Sunnah is that the Muslim who dies on Friday or its eve is secured from the torment of the grave. This hadith was graded as hasan (good) or sahih (authentic) by Al-Albani based on its various chains of narration, and it indicates a virtue for whoever dies on this day and is a sign of a good ending for them.
