When does the permissible time for intercourse between spouses end? Is it before Fajr or before Subh?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
Fajr and Subh are synonymous. However, Fajr may also refer to the first dawn (the false dawn). The time when it becomes unlawful for a fasting person to eat, drink, or engage in sexual intercourse is upon the rising of the true dawn (Fajr al-Sadiq).
