Is the obligatory ghusl performed before Fajr prayer on Friday sufficient, or not?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

Ghusl (ritual bath) on Friday is a confirmed Sunnah when going to the mosque for Friday prayer. It is best for ensuring cleanliness and removing odors, while also paying attention to perfume and good clothing. If one performs ghusl at the beginning of the day, it is sufficient. When going for Friday prayer, a Muslim should pay attention to humility and walk with measured steps. Upon entering the mosque, one should put the right foot forward, send blessings upon the Prophet, and supplicate. Then, one should pray as much as is easy, and not separate two people. After that, one should sit awaiting the Imam, either by reading, performing dhikr, or remaining silent, and then listen attentively to the sermon and pray with the Imam. Whoever does this will have their sins forgiven between the two Fridays, with an additional three days.
