The answer

It is not permissible to delay the Fajr prayer beyond its time, and whoever does so intentionally is sinful. The person in a state of ritual impurity (junub) must perform (ritual bath) to pray Fajr, or perform (dry ablution) if unable to perform ghusl due to a legitimate Shari'ah-approved excuse. They should then pray Fajr with tayammum and not delay it, and there is no need for them to repeat it afterward. The evidence for this is the of Amr ibn al-'As, the action of the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, and the statement of Sheikh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah.
