Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The reciter: Abdullah ibn Yusuf narrated to us, Malik informed us, from Safwan ibn Sulaym, from Ata ibn Yasar, from Abu Sa'id al-Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him), that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
Taking bath on Friday is necessary for every adult. غسل يوم الجمعة واجب على كل محتلم
Sunan Abi Dawud 341Sahih (Al-Albani)
.

The Shaykh : His statement
The ghusl for Friday غسل الجمعة
can be said to be from the category of attributing a thing to its time, just as you say "sleep of the night," and it can also be said to be from the category of attributing a thing to its cause, and both are correct.
And his statement
obligatory واجب
means fixed and binding.
And his statement
for every adult على كل محتلم
means: having reached puberty.
This hadith is explicit regarding the obligation, and mentioning its obligation with a description implies compulsion, which is reaching puberty, since one who has not reached puberty is not accountable. Therefore, when the description that implies compulsion is mentioned, it indicates that the intended meaning of the obligation here is compulsion, and this is the correct view. Yes, O Muhammad.

The Shaykh : No, he holds the view that it is not obligatory. I say he holds the view that it is not obligatory. This is a chapter on the virtue of ghusl.

Taking a bath (before coming to Friday prayers) is obligatory on every adult. غسل الجمعة واجب على كل محتلم
Riyad as-Salihin 1152
.

The Shaykh : It is not apparent. I say it is not apparent. The funeral prayer does not have a ghusl.

The questioner : ...

The Shaykh : It is not explicit. It contains an explanation, an explanation of the chapter heading. The first opening?
