The questioner : Peace be upon you.
The Shaykh : Peace and mercy of Allah be upon you.
The questioner : Shaykh, this is a female questioner who says.
The Shaykh : Yes. Yes.
The questioner : The female questioner says, O Shaykh, what is the ruling on the Friday prayer for an adult? And is it permissible for him, if he wakes up shortly before the prayer, to go without taking a bath?
The Shaykh : A female questioner says, a female questioner and not a male questioner?
The questioner : Yes. A male questioner says: What is the ruling on the Friday bath for an adult? And is it permissible for him, if he wakes up shortly before the Friday prayer, to go without taking a bath?
The Shaykh : Yes. If it happens that a person forgets or sleeps and does not remember, or does not wake up until shortly before the imam arrives, such that he would miss the prayer if he stayed to take a bath, then the bath is dropped in this case, because the bath is for the Friday prayer, and it is not possible to sacrifice the primary obligation for the sake of the secondary.
