Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Is there evidence for combining the Friday bath and the bath for major ritual impurity with a single intention?
The Shaykh : There is no evidence for that. However, in "Al-Mustadrak of al-Hakim", there is a hadith from Abu Qatadah al-Ansari (may Allah be pleased with him) that he passed by his son who was bathing on Friday and said to him, "Is this bath of yours for major ritual impurity or for Friday?" He said, "It is for major ritual impurity." He said to him, "Add another bath to it, for I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say ... " Then he mentioned a hadith from those hadiths that command the Friday bath, but its exact wording does not come to my mind now.
