Subsidiary Issue (35): The Ghusl for Jumu’ah is (performed) on the Day:
From Ibn ‘Umar: He would perform ghusl after the break of dawn (Fajr) on the day of Jumu’ah, considering it sufficient for the ghusl for Jumu’ah.
From Mujāhid: If a man performs ghusl after the entrance of Fajr, it is sufficient.
From Al-Hasan: If one performs ghusl on the day of Jumu’ah after Fajr enters, it is sufficient for Jumu’ah.
From Ibrāhīm Al-Nakha’ī: Similarly.
Ibn Hazm said: Therefore, it is for the day, so performing ghusl at any time of the day is sufficient.
Similar sayings were expressed by Al-Layth, Sufyān, ‘Abd Al-‘Azīz ibn Abī Salamah, Ishāq ibn Rāhawayh and Dāwūd.
This is also the school of thought of Abū Hanīfah, Al-Shāfi’ī, Ahmad ibn Hanbal, and Ibn Hazm.
Their evidence is the hadīth in al-Bukhārī (896) from Abū Hurayrah from the Prophet (ﷺ) who said: “It is Allah’s right upon every Muslim to perform ghusl once every seven days, washing their head and body.”
This was also narrated with chain of transmission by Jābir and Al-Barā’.
[T.N: The wording of the narration of Jābir is:
The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: ‘Every Muslim man has to perform Ghusl one day in every seven, and that is on the day of Jumu’ah.'” – Al-Nasā’ī 1378 and others, declared Sahīh by Al-Albānī]

Al-Khatīb al-Sharbīnī said:
Its time is from the (true) Fajr, because the narrations linked (the performance of ghusl) to the day, as in his saying (ﷺ): “Whoever performs ghusl on the day of Jumu’ah then goes forth in the first hour…” the hadīth (Sahīh Muslim 850 and others)… (Mughnī al-Muhtāj 1/558)
