The Ritual Bath of Jumu’ah, Entering the Bathhouse, Its Etiquette, and Teachings on Cleanliness and Beautification

وَقَالَ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ: «مَنْ أَطَاعَ اِمْرَأَتَهُ أَكَبَّهُ اَللَّهُ عَلَى مَنْخِرَيْهِ فِي اَلنَّارِ » فَقِيلَ وَ مَا تِلْكَ اَلطَّاعَةُ قَالَ «تَدْعُوهُ إِلَى اَلنِّيَاحَاتِ وَ اَلْعُرُسَاتِ وَ اَلْحَمَّامَاتِ وَ لُبْسِ اَلثِّيَابِ اَلرِّقَاقِ فَيُجِيبُهَا.
Imam عليه السلام said: 'Whoever obeys his wife (in matters of disobedience) will be thrown by Allah سبحانه وتعالى, the Exalted, on his face in the Fire.' It was said: 'What kind of obedience is that?' Imam عليه السلام said: "When She invites him to go to congregation of lamentations to extravagant festivities (weddings), or going to public bathhouses, and or to wear delicate (thin/revealing) clothing; and he approves it for her."
