Does ritual impurity (najasah) on the body or clothes invalidate the soundness of uttering the Two Testimonies (Shahadatayn) and the acceptance of the repentance of a disbeliever or apostate?

The repentance of a disbeliever or an apostate is by uttering the two testimonies of faith (Shahadatayn). If the apostasy was due to denying an obligatory act (fard) or similar, then their repentance is by uttering the two testimonies of faith along with acknowledging the denied act. The presence of impurity on a disbeliever or an apostate does not prevent the acceptance of their repentance. Scholars have differed regarding the obligation of (ritual bath) for them after repentance.
