Is it permissible to take a ghusl (full ritual bath) for Jumu'ah before the sun rises?

Question : May Allah reward you. The questioner says: If a person intends to stay in the mosque from the Fajr prayer until Jumu'ah, is it permissible for him to take a ghusl from the time he goes to pray Fajr?

Answer : The precaution is that a person should not take a ghusl on Friday except after the sun has risen. This is because the term "day" applies to the time after the dawn (Fajr) and to the time after the sun rises. Therefore, the precaution is not to take a ghusl on Friday except after the sun has risen.

The presenter : Yes.
