Is one's fast valid if a husband engages in foreplay with his wife, and semen is discharged from him three or four minutes after the adhan of Fajr?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

Your fast is valid. The emission of semen after the dawn (Fajr) prayer call does not invalidate the fast, as it results from a permissible act of intimacy. Scholars have mentioned that if someone engages in sexual intercourse at night and semen is emitted during the day, their fast remains valid.
