Is it necessary to perform ghusl to cleanse oneself from janabah immediately upon waking up during the day in Ramadan for the fast to be valid?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

Ghusl (ritual bath) for janabah (state of ritual impurity requiring ghusl) must be performed after dawn to pray Fajr on time, not because fasting is invalid with janabah. Janabah that occurs before dawn does not affect the validity of the fast, even if one remains in that state after dawn breaks.
