Being in a state of ritual impurity () does not affect the validity of the fast. The fast of one in a state of janabah is valid, whether he intentionally delayed (ritual bath) or forgot it. This is because it is established that the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, would wake up in a state of janabah and then fast. However, one who is in a state of janabah must make up all the prayers he performed after becoming جنبا and before performing ghusl.
