The Ghusl on Friday
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
What is the meaning of the hadith in which the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: “The ghusl on Friday is obligatory for every person who has reached puberty”?
Answer:
The ghusl on Friday is prescribed and strongly emphasized; this is because people gather in one mosque, and so each one checks himself and removes any bad odors or dirt from his body; so that he may attend this great gathering and so that he does not harm his brothers with his smell if he has a smell of sweat or otherwise. And the meaning of His saying (peace and blessings be upon him): “obligatory” is that it is strongly emphasized, and it does not mean that it is fard (obligatory). And the one who has reached puberty is the adult.
