The Friday Bath with the Intention of the Recommended Practice for Major Ritual Impurity
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah expand your understanding, I became in a state of major ritual impurity on the morning of Friday, then I fasted and performed the full ritual bath. I did not intend to remove the major ritual impurity; I only intended the Friday bath. What is the ruling on the prayers I performed after that?
Answer:
There is nothing wrong with that. The jurists say that if one intends a recommended bath, it suffices for the obligatory one, especially if you were in a state of major ritual impurity. The recommended practice suffices for the obligatory one because it is a prescribed bath, and as long as it is a prescribed bath, it suffices for the obligatory one. Praise be to Allah.
