Summary
Bathing on Friday is recommended based on authentic hadith, including the narration in Muslim from Abu Sa'id al-Khudri RA and the hadith that whoever intends to attend the Friday prayer should bathe. According to the more correct view in the Shafi'i school, the bath is encouraged for anyone who intends to attend the Friday prayer, with greater emphasis on men and those who have reached puberty. Its time begins from the entry of the Fajr time, but it is better done close to the Friday prayer to remove body odour and sweat.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Kesimpulannya, mandi pada hari Jumaat adalah disunatkan sebagaimana yang terdapat di dalam hadith-hadith yang sahih.
