فان قال قائل: كيف تستدلون بهذه الاخبار وهي تتضمن أن غسل الجمعة واجب وعندكم أنه سنة ليس بفريضة؟ قلنا: ما يتمضن هذه الاخبار من لفظ الوجوب فالمراد به أن الاولى على الانسان أن يفعله، وقد يسمى الشئ واجبا إذا كان الاولى فعله والذي يدل على هذا التأويل وان المراد ليس به الفرض الذي لا يسوغ تركه على كل حال.
If someone were to ask: How can you use these narrations as evidence when they state that the ghusl of Friday is obligatory, yet you consider it to be a recommended act and not a strict obligation? We respond: What these narrations imply by the term "obligatory" is that it is highly preferred and recommended for a person to perform it. Sometimes, an act is referred to as "obligatory" when it is highly recommended to do it, even if it is not a strict obligation that cannot be omitted under any circumstances. Evidence supporting this interpretation shows that the intent here is not an absolute obligation but rather a strong preference.
