Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
We are still with you live on air, and this is another questioner who says in this question: As for the Friday bath, Honorable Shaykh, if a person has a cast on him or is afraid of water and did not take a bath, what is meant by the Friday bath?

Answer:
The Friday bath is a recommended practice, and it is emphasized for the one who is able to do it. As for the one who is not able to do it due to illness or…, it is not obligatory for him. Yes. In fact, if he would be harmed by it, it is not recommended for him. And if he is able to take a bath, washing the healthy parts of his body, he should do so, based on the saying of Allah the Exalted:
So fear Allah as much as you are ableفَاتَّقُوا اللَّهَ مَا اسْتَطَعْتُمْ
[At-Taghabun 64:16]
Yes.
