The encouragement to perform (ritual bath) on Friday is established by the : "He who performs ghusl on Friday, similar to the ghusl for (major ritual impurity), and then goes (to the mosque), it is as if he sacrificed a large camel..." This ghusl is specific to Friday. Therefore, whoever misses it is not legislated to make it up, nor will they attain its reward by performing ghusl on another day. The ghusl for Friday is a (recommended act) according to the majority of scholars, not an obligation.
