Is reviling the religion forgivable in a state of anger, and does janabah suffice for ghusl of apostasy according to the Hanbalis and Malikis?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

The Hanbalis hold that a single ghusl (ritual bath) suffices for multiple causes, and that apostasy is a verbal impurity. The Malikis do not obligate ghusl for a disbeliever or an apostate unless something occurs from them that necessitates ghusl due to janabah (major ritual impurity).
