Dying on the day of ‘Eed or on the 15th of Sha’baan

Question

I would like to ask about certian days of the year that if someone passes away on them is there any speciality in them. For example, no punishment in the grave maybe. I have heard that friday is one of those days, so what about Eid or 15 of Sha'aban and days like that? Jazzakom Allah Kola Khier

 Fatwa

All perfect praise be to Allah, The Lord of the Worlds. I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allah, and that Muhammad is His slave and Messenger.

We have already issued Fataawa 89102 and 92220 clarifying the excellence of dying on Friday, so please refer to them.

However, after a great effort and investigation, we have not come across any evidence on the excellence of dying on the day of 'Eed or on the 15th of Sha'baan or in any other days.

If a person dies while Allah is pleased with him, it does not matter on which day he died. Similarly, if a person dies on a preferred day while Allah is angry with him, then that day does not intercede for him. 

 

Allah Knows best.
