What is the ruling on the fast of one who had intercourse with his wife at night and did not perform ghusl until Fajr?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
If dawn breaks upon a person who is in a state of major ritual impurity (junub) and they have not yet performed the ritual bath (), their fast is valid and they are not required to repeat that day. This is based on the narration from Aisha and Umm Salamah (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the Prophet (peace be upon him) would wake up in a state of major ritual impurity due to conjugal relations, then perform ghusl, and fast.
