Is Friday Eid?

Question:

Is Friday considered an Eid in Islam?

Answer:

وقد صحت تسمية الجمعة عيداً عن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم فقد قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم: إن هذا يوم عيد جعله الله للمسلمين فمن جاء الجمعة فليغتسل . رواه ابن ماجه .

Yes. As the Prophet (s) said:

Verily this day is an Eid Allah made it so for the Muslims, so whoever comes to Jum`ah let him make the purificatory bath (ghusl). (Ibn Majah)

And Allah knows best. [Taken from “يوم الجمعة عيد للمسلمين“]
