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

وَقَالَ مُوسَى بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ: «اَلْحَمَّامُ يَوْمٌ وَ يَوْمٌ لاَ يُكْثِرُ اَللَّحْمَ وَ إِدْمَانُهُ كُلَّ يَوْمٍ يُذْهِبُ شَحْمَ اَلْكُلْيَتَيْنِ.
Imam Musa ibn Jafar Al-Kadhim عليه السلام said: 'Bathing in the bathhouse every other day does not increase fat. However, using it daily will deplete the fat of the kidneys.'
