In the Shāfiʿī school, however, it becomes obligatory if one experienced a state requiring ghusl prior to conversion, though a weaker opinion holds that pre-conversion ghusl suffices. In the Ḥanafī school, ghusl is only required if the person embraces Islam in a state of impurity. In contrast, both the Mālikī and Ḥanbalī schools require ghusl upon conversion regardless of prior state.
