The questioner : He says: O honorable Shaykh! If I am in a state of major ritual impurity and I perform the full ritual bath on Friday, is this bath sufficient for the Friday bath, or must I perform another bath? And is it sufficient if a Muslim performs the full ritual bath on the night of Friday?
The Shaykh : Yes. As for if a person performs the full ritual bath on the night of Friday, it is not sufficient for the Friday bath. But if he performs the full ritual bath on Friday to remove major ritual impurity, it is sufficient for the Friday bath. Just as the obligatory prayer is sufficient for the greeting of the mosque. Here, the person performed a prescribed bath, which is the bath for major ritual impurity, so it sufficed for the prescribed bath for Friday. However, if he intends both with a single intention, that is better. Intending both means in one bath, that is better. Yes.
