The questioner : If a man performs ghusl on Friday to remove major ritual impurity, does that suffice for the Friday prayer?
The Shaykh : If he performs ghusl to remove major ritual impurity, it suffices for the Friday prayer, but if he performs ghusl for the Friday prayer, it does not suffice for the major ritual impurity.
The questioner : If he performs ghusl for the major ritual impurity and the Friday prayer does not occur to him.
The Shaykh : It appears that it is sufficient because the intended purpose has been achieved.
The reciter: And Yahya ibn Yahya, Abu Bakr ibn Abi Shaybah, and Abu Kuraib narrated to us. Yahya said: Abu Mu'awiyah informed us, and the other two said: Abu Mu'awiyah narrated to us, from al-A'mash, from Abu Salih, from Abu Hurayrah, who said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said:Sahih Muslim 857b.
The Shaykh : Some scholars cited this hadith as evidence that the Friday ghusl is not obligatory, but there is no proof in it, because al-A'mash contradicted others in this matter, so we take what agrees with the majority, which is that the ghusl is obligatory.
And his saying:Sunan Ibn Majah 1025Sahih (Darussalam) means touching it in a way that is playful, such as playing with pebbles while the imam is delivering the sermon. The pebbles were mentioned because the Prophet's (peace and blessings be upon him) mosque was paved with small stones and pebbles.

He who performed ablution well, then came to Friday prayer, listened (to the sermon), kept silence all (his sins) between that time and the next Friday would be forgiven with three days extra, and he who touched pebbles caused an interruption.
