The Obligation of the Friday Bath
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
What is the ruling on the Friday bath according to the correct view, and does ablution suffice for it or not?
The Friday bath, according to the view we consider stronger, is obligatory for everyone who attends the Friday prayer;By the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): (The Friday bath is obligatory for every adult male), but it is not a condition for the validity of the prayer; because it is not for removing ritual impurity,And the evidence for that is: (That 'Umar ibn al-Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him), when he spoke about 'Uthman when he arrived late,So 'Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) said to him: I did nothing more than perform ablution, O Commander of the Faithful,He said: and ablution as well, and you know that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: (Whoever among you comes to the Friday prayer, let him take a bath) But does the Friday bath suffice for ablution or not? If a person performs ablution before it with the intention of removing ritual impurity, then the removal of ritual impurity has been achieved by the ablution. And if he does not perform ablution, it does not suffice; because this is not for removing ritual impurity.
