What is the difference between something being najis and something being mutanajjis?
Najis is inherently impure (the source). Mutanajjis becomes impure through contact with najāsah.

Contact + wetness (or a wetness that transfers). If both are dry, najāsah does not transfer.
According to the textbook, why does wuḍūʾ not remove najāsah even though water is used?
Because wuḍūʾ is not a Muṭahhir for najāsah; it only establishes ritual purity, not physical purification.
You decide to do Ghusul Irtimasi, you fill the water tub and put a bath bomb, then you jump in and do ghusul. Is it considered correct?
No, because the bath bomb changed the water's properties. Cannot do ghusul with water and another substance.
Istiḥālah means a fundamental change (natural change) of state. If a najis thing fundamentally changes into a different substance, then it is no longer najis. Give an example.
