SAHIH BUKHARI VOLUME 2 > BOOK 13: FRIDAY PRAYER
I testify that Allah’s Apostle said, “The taking of a bath on Friday is compulsory for every male
Muslim who has attained the age of puberty and (also) the cleaning of his teeth with Siwak, and the
using of perfume if it is available.” Amr (a sub-narrator) said, “I confirm that the taking of a bath is
compulsory, but as for the Siwak and the using of perfume, Allah knows better whether it is obligat –
ory or not, but according to the Hadith it is as above.”)
