Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: The Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "No person should perform ghusl (ritual bath) in standing water while he is in a state of janabah (major ritual impurity)." The people asked: O Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him), then what should we do? He replied: A person should take water from it (and go to another place to perform ghusl).
