Jurisprudence and Juristic Principles Jurisprudence of Acts of Worship Purification Ritual Bath

عن عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ رضي الله عنهما قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم يَقُولُ:
«‌مَنْ ‌جَاءَ ‌مِنْكُمُ ‌الْجُمُعَةَ فَلْيَغْتَسِلْ».

‘Abdullah ibn ‘Umar (may Allah be pleased with him and his father) reported: I heard the Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) say:
'Whoever of you comes to attend the Friday prayer, let him take a shower."

Authentic Agreed upon Sahīh Al-Bukhāri - 894

Explanation

The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) affirms that it is recommended for whoever wants to attend the Friday prayer to take a shower like that which he takes from Janābah (major ritual impurity).

Benefits from the Hadith

  1. Affirming the Friday Ghusl (ritual bath) and the fact that it is Sunnah for the believer on Friday, preferably just before going to the prayer.
  2. Keenness on being clean and having a pleasant smell is among the Muslim's morals and manners, and this is more emphatic when meeting and sitting with people, especially during the Friday and congregational prayers.
  3. The Hadīth addresses those upon whom the Friday prayer is obligatory because they are the ones who attend it.
  4. It is recommended for the one who attends the Friday prayer to be clean. So, he should take a bath to remove the foul odors from his body, and he should wear perfume. However, if he makes ablution only, it will be sufficient for him.
