Which is better: delaying the Dhuhr prayer on Friday for an hour in order to perform ghusl, or performing the prayer on time and delaying ghusl?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

Ablution (ghusl) on Friday is recommended for those who attend the Friday prayer. As for those who do not attend it, they are not required to perform it for the Dhuhr prayer, unless there is another reason. The questioner should perform ablution and pray when the time for prayer enters, and not delay the prayer for the sake of a ghusl that is not legally required.
