Is there anything wrong with taking baths on Tuesdays?      

Answered by Shaykh Abdurrahman ibn Yusuf Mangera

My mom does not allow us to take shower/baths on Tuesdays. She says it is better not to take a shower on those days. Is this based of religion, superstition or something else?

Answer:

In the Name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful

Assalamu alaykum

In the name of Allah, the Inspirer of truth

There is no problem with having a bath or shower on Tuesdays. I have not seen any prohibition or dislike of this in the Shari’a texts that I have read, nor have the scholars whom I consulted. Allah knows best the source of such a belief.

Wassalam
Abdur-Rahman ibn Yusuf

Faraz notes: One possible basis for the practice could be that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) died on a Tuesday. However, as Shaykh Abdur-Rahman ibn Yusuf notes, this does not establish that it is even disliked to take a bath or ghusl on this day; rather, such a belief would be a baseless innovation. And Allah knows best.
