Narrated by Hammad from Ibrahim Al-Nakh'i, he said: I asked him about Ghusl on Friday, after cupping, and on the two Eid days. He replied: "If you perform Ghusl, it is good, but if you leave it, there is no harm." I said: "Did not the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) say: 'Whoever goes to the Friday prayer should perform Ghusl'?" He replied: "Yes, but it is not an obligatory matter. It is like His saying: 'And when you contract a sale, call witnesses, and whoever witnesses, it is good; but if someone does not, there is no harm.' And it is like His saying: 'And when the prayer is concluded, disperse through the earth' (Al-Jumu'ah: 10). Whoever disperses, there is no harm, and whoever sits, there is no harm."
