About the fatwa
Friday ghusl is not obligatory upon a woman
Q: “Is the Friday bath (ghusl) obligatory upon a woman?”
Answer
Shaikh al-Albaani:
“If the Friday prayer fundamentally is not obligatory upon her, then how can the subsidiary issue (the bath) be obligatory when the fundamental (the prayer) isn’t?”1
1 Shaikh Bin Baaz, Shaikh Ibn al-`Uthaimeen and Shaikh Fawzaan likewise said that the Friday bath is specifically for men – those who must attend the Friday prayer – not women.
