Benefits of the Hadith: (Do not prevent the women of Allah from the mosques of Allah).

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : What do we take from these hadiths? Is the full ritual bath obligatory for women, children, and others who do not attend the Friday prayer? It appears that the hadiths indicate that it is not obligatory for them, based on his saying:
He who comes for Jumu'a he should take a bath. من جاء منكم الجمعة فليغتسل
Sahih Muslim 844b
However, when we look at the other hadiths
It is a right of Allah the Exalted upon every Muslim to perform the full ritual bath once every seven days. لله تعالى على كل مسلم حق أن يغتسل في كل سبع أيام يوما
and this unspecified day is specified by the other narrations to mean the Friday prayer. But what appears is that the full ritual bath is not obligatory except for those for whom the Friday prayer is obligatory. As for those for whom it is not obligatory, such as women, children, and the sick, they do not have to perform the full ritual bath unless there is a cause, such as a lot of dirt covering the body. In that case, it may be said that it is obligatory to remove the bad smell, because the angels are bothered by what bothers the children of Adam.
