The answer

A Muslim should magnify the day of Jumu'ah (Friday) due to its immense virtue. It is "the best day on which the sun has risen." On this day, Adam was created, admitted into Paradise, and expelled from it, and on this day, the Hour will be established. It is the master of days, and it contains an hour of response during which no Muslim worshipper standing in prayer will supplicate but that Allah will grant him his request. Allah has guided us to the day of Jumu'ah, making the Jews and Christians subordinate to us on the Day of Resurrection. Therefore, it is not permissible to dislike this day, as it is one of the rituals of the religion. Disliking the rituals of Islam is disbelief, as Allah Almighty says: "That is because they disliked what Allah revealed, so He rendered their deeds worthless." As for whoever finds going to Jumu'ah prayer burdensome, there is a characteristic of hypocrisy in him. However, disliking the day because shops are closed or for similar reasons is not befitting for a Muslim, especially when he knows the virtue of this day.
