The Importance of Bathing on Fridays

SUMMARY: Taking a bath on Fridays is important for hygiene and to avoid bad odors.

'Aisha reported: The people (mostly) were workers and they had no servants. Ill-smell thus emitted out of them. It was said to them: Were you to take bath on Friday.
وَحَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ رُمْحٍ، أَخْبَرَنَا اللَّيْثُ، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ سَعِيدٍ، عَنْ عَمْرَةَ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، أَنَّهَا قَالَتْ كَانَ النَّاسُ أَهْلَ عَمَلٍ وَلَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُمْ كُفَاةٌ فَكَانُوا يَكُونُ لَهُمْ تَفَلٌ فَقِيلَ لَهُمْ لَوِ اغْتَسَلْتُمْ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith, narrated by 'Aisha, highlights the importance of taking a bath on Fridays. In the past, people were mostly laborers and did not have servants to help them with their daily tasks. As a result, they would often emit bad odors due to their hard work and lack of access to proper hygiene facilities. It was then suggested that they take baths on Fridays in order to maintain good hygiene and avoid unpleasant smells. This hadith emphasizes the importance of cleanliness and personal hygiene as part of our religious practice. It also serves as an example for us today that we should take care of our bodies by regularly bathing in order to stay healthy and clean.
