Summary
A janabah bath taken by soaking in a bathtub is valid when the two obligatory elements are met, namely the intention and spreading water over the whole body. Rubbing the body is not required if nothing blocks water from reaching the skin. If wax, dirt or solidified oil prevents the water from reaching the skin, rubbing and removing it becomes obligatory, as in the rules of ablution.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Mandi junub atau mandi wajib yang dilakukan dengan berendam di dalam tab mandi adalah sah dan memadai sekalipun tidak menggosok tubuh badan apabila tidak terdapat sebarang kotoran yang menghalang laluan air untuk sampai ke tubuh badan.
