The Ritual Bath of Jumu’ah, Entering the Bathhouse, Its Etiquette, and Teachings on Cleanliness and Beautification
وَقَالَ اَلصَّادِقُ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ: «بِئْسَ اَلْبَيْتُ اَلْحَمَّامُ يَهْتِكُ اَلسِّتْرَ وَ يُبْدِي اَلْعَوْرَةَ وَ نِعْمَ اَلْبَيْتُ اَلْحَمَّامُ يُذَكِّرُ حَرَّ اَلنَّارِ.
Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq عليه السلام said: 'The bathhouse is an undesirable place; it removes coverings (privacy) and exposes the private parts. However, it is a good place as it reminds one of the heats of the Fire (Hellfire).'.
