Friday ghusl is not obligatory upon a woman

Friday ghusl is not obligatory upon a woman
 
Q: “Is the Friday bath (ghusl) obligatory upon a woman?”
 
Shaikh al-Albaani:
 
“If the Friday prayer fundamentally is not obligatory upon her, then how can the subsidiary issue (the bath) be obligatory when the fundamental (the prayer) isn’t?”[1]
 
[1] Shaikh Bin Baaz, Shaikh Ibn al-`Uthaimeen and Shaikh Fawzaan likewise said that the Friday bath is specifically for men – those who must attend the Friday prayer – not women.
