What is the ruling on marital intimacy before the Fajr prayer, and how does a Muslim pray the Fajr prayer before performing ghusl in extreme cold?
A man is permitted to have intercourse with his wife at any time, unless it would prevent her from performing an obligatory prayer.
If a man has intercourse with his wife and the prayer time arrives, both of them must perform (ritual bath). If the weather is cold and they fear harm, they should warm the water. If they are unable to do so, they should perform (dry ablution) and pray. They should not delay the prayer beyond its prescribed time.
A woman is not permitted to refuse her husband intercourse; rather, he has the right to engage in intercourse with her. If she is able to perform ghusl, she should do so; otherwise, she should perform tayammum, and the same applies to the man.
