Taking a Bath (Ghusl)
Narrated Abu Sa`id Al-Khudri:
“The Prophet (ﷺ) said, “Ghusl (taking a bath) on Friday is compulsory for every Muslim reaching the age of puberty.”
Sahih al-Bukhari 858: Book 10, Hadith 249
- The Prophet (p.b.u.h) said,
“Whoever takes a bath on Friday, purifies himself as much as he can, then uses his (hair) oil or perfumes himself with the scent of his house, then proceeds (for the Jumuah prayer) and does not separate two persons sitting together (in the mosque), then prays as much as (Allah has) written for him and then remains silent while the Imam is delivering the Khutba, his sins in-between the present and the last Friday would be forgiven.”Sahih al-Bukhari 883: Book 11, Hadith 8
