Answer
In Muslim states, Friday is a public holiday. Similarly, most Islamic institutions in non-Muslim countries, have Friday as their public holidays.
And Allah Ta'ala Knows Best.

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Darul Iftaa Mahmudiyyah (AskImam). It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
