Taking a bath with the intention of purification from major ritual impurity and the Friday bath together
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Fatwa number ( 15836 )
Q: A man had intercourse with his wife on the night of Friday, that is, on the evening of Thursday leading into the morning of Friday. This intercourse took place after the Maghrib or Isha prayer, that is, in the first half of the night. Then he took a bath, intending with it both purification from major ritual impurity and the Friday bath together. Is this bath considered the Friday bath? I intend to inform you that I intended with it both the Friday bath and purification from major ritual impurity, and I took the bath before the middle of the night. Does it count for both, and is it considered the Friday bath?
A: Your bath for major ritual impurity before the dawn breaks is not sufficient for the Friday bath; because the Friday bath is performed after the dawn breaks, and because the bath is tied to the day, and the day does not begin until the dawn breaks. Knowing that the Friday bath is
a confirmed recommended practice. And success is from Allah, and may Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and his Companions.
