Commentary
There is disagreement in the status of taking a bath on Friday. According to the four A'immah it is Sunnah and desirable, not obligatory and compulsory, said Ibn Qudāmah and Ibn 'Abdul Barr. [Al-Mughnī: 3/225]. Some said taking a bath on Friday is compulsory according to one statement of Imām Mālik, Shāfi'i and Ahmad. However the known opinion of the Four A'immah is that it is only Sunnah and desirable, not compulsory.
