I sit behind a guy in one of my classes, and I can smell his WELL NEAR SINFUL B.O from THREE. ROWS. BACK. I would also like to mention, there is no real air circulation in that room. He smells so bad, HIS OWN SCENT WANTS TO GET AWAY FROM HIM.
THANK GOD, we have rules in place to prevent us from smelling like that:
1) Narrated Abu Said Al-Khudri: The Prophet said, "Ghusl (taking a bath) on Friday is compulsory for everyMuslim reaching the age of puberty." (Bukhari, Book #12, Hadith #817)
2) Narrated Abu Said: I testify that Allah's Apostle said, "The taking of a bath on Friday is compulsory for every male Muslim who has attained the age of puberty and (also) the cleaning of his teeth with Siwak, and the using of perfume if it is available." Amr (a sub-narrator) said, "I confirm that the taking of a bath is compulsory, but as for the Siwak and the using of perfume, Allah knows better whether it is obligatory or not, but according to the Hadith it is as above.") (Bukhari, Book #13, Hadith #5)
3) Narrated Abu Huraira: Allah's Apostle said "We are the last (to come amongst the nations) but (will be) the foremost on the Day of Resurrection. They were given the Holy Scripture before us and we were given the Quran after them. And this was the day (Friday) about which they differed and Allah gave us the guidance (for that). So tomorrow (i.e. Saturday) is the Jews' (day), and the day after tomorrow (i.e. Sunday) is the Christians'." The Prophet (p.b.u.h) remained silent (for a while) and then said, "It is obligatory for everyMuslim that he should take a bath once in seven days, when he should wash his head and body." Narrated Abu Huraira through different narrators that the Prophet said, "It is Allah's right on every Muslim that he should take a bath (at least) once in seven days." (Bukhari, Book #13, Hadith #21)
4) Narrated 'Aisha: An Ansari woman asked the Prophet how to take a bath after finishing from the menses. He replied, "Take a piece a cloth perfumed with musk and clean the private parts with it thrice." The Prophet felt shy and turned his face. So pulled her to me and told her what the Prophet meant. (Bukhari, Book #6, Hadith#312)
5) Narrated 'Azra bin Thabit Al-Ansari: When I went to Thumama bin 'Abdullah, he gave me some perfumeand said that Anas would not reject the gifts of perfume. Anas said: The Prophet used not to reject the gifts of perfume. (Bukhari, Book #47, Hadith #756)
6) Abu Malik at-Ash'ari reported: The Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) said: cleanliness is half of faith and al-Hamdu Liliah (Praise be to Allah) fills the scale, and Subhan Allah (Glory be to Allah) and al-Hamdu Liliah (Praise be to Allah) fill upwhat is between the heavens and the earth, and prayer is a light, and charity is proof (of one's faith) and endurance is a brightness and the Holy Qur'an is a proof on your behalf or against you. All men go out early in the morning and sell themselves, thereby setting themselves free or destroying themselves. (Bukhari, Book #002, Hadith #0432)
7) The Prophet was said to love 3 things; Women (his wives), Perfume, and Salat. (can't find source :( )
But the list goes on and on, and I know it only says "every friday" but we are fortunate to live in a place where we have water, HOT water, and SOAP, and shampoo every day!! I REALLY don't think that showering every day is going to get filed under "extravagance". Especially when the alternative offends everyone around you!
