The great
scholar of hadeeth of this era, Shaykh al-Albaanee stated:
There is
nothing in the Sunnah that forbids a person from travelling on Friday
absolutely. In fact, it was reported from the Prophet (sallallaahu alayhi wa
sallam) that he travelled on Friday in the first part of the day, but it is
weak due to the absence of the link between the taabi’ee and the Prophet
(sallallaahu alayhi wa sallam).
Al-Bayhaqee
(3/187) reported from al-Aswad bin Qays on the authority of his father who
said: ‘Umar bin al-Khattaab (may Allaah be pleased with him) saw the appearance
of [wanting to] travel on a man and heard him saying, ‘Were it not that today
is Friday, I would have gone out.’ Thereupon, Umar (may Allaah be pleased with
him) said, ‘Go out, for Friday should not prevent one from travelling.’ It was
also reported by Ibn Abee Shaybah. The chain of narrators is authentic as all
its men are trustworthy. Qays the father of al-Aswad was considered reliable by
an-Nasaa’ee and Ibn Hibbaan.
