Summary
The text sets out the three obligatory elements of the ritual bath after major impurity, the disliked acts during bathing, and the definition of two qullah, whose measurements are approximate. Bathing in still water is prohibited because water below two qullah becomes musta'mal through the act. Ibn Qudamah states that the water becomes musta'mal and the impurity is not lifted, while Imam al-Syafi'e holds that the water becomes musta'mal but the impurity is lifted. The answer given is cut off before a final conclusion is stated.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Jika sekiranya seseorang melakukan atau mengalami salah satu perkara di atas, maka wajib ke atasnya untuk mandi sebelum menunaikan ibadah.
