It is recommended for a person in a state of ritual impurity (junub) during the nights of to perform before Fajr. However, if Fajr overtakes him while he is still in a state of ritual impurity, his fasting is valid, and he only needs to perform ghusl. The proof for this is that the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, used to wake up in a state of ritual impurity due to sexual intercourse, then perform ghusl and fast.
