Question:
What is the meaning of the Prophet's (peace and blessings be upon him) statement
None amongst you should urinate in stagnant water , and then wash in itلا يبولن أحدكم في الماء الدائم ثم يغتسل
Sunan Abi Dawud 69Sahih (Al-Albani)
regarding women? Does it mean that it becomes impure because of that?

Answer:
It means he prohibited two things regarding standing water: urinating in it, and secondly, taking a bath in it. This is because urination spoils the water by making it impure, and bathing spoils the water for those who wish to use it afterward. Yes. And his saying "standing" is evidence of the distinction between it and flowing water. Flowing water is not affected, whether one urinates in it or takes a bath in it; it is not affected. Yes.
