Is the Friday bath obligatory or recommended?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
What is the stronger position regarding the issue of the Friday bath: is it recommended or obligatory?

Answer:
The stronger position is that it is recommended, but it is a confirmed recommendation, a confirmed sunnah (recommended practice). This is the stronger position. No one held it to be obligatory except a small group, such as the Zahiriyyah.
