7- Remaining in the state of Janabah, menstruation or after-birth bleeding till the dawn Adhaan

Issue 803: If a person remains Junub and intentionally avoid performing Ghusl until the time of dawn Adhaan, or if they must perform Tayammum but intentionally avoid performing it until the time of dawn Adhaan, their fast will be void.

Issue 804: If a person who is Junub and is willing to observe an obligatory fast like the fasts of Ramadhan, whose time is specified and fixed, does not perform Ghusl intentionally until the time is too short to perform Ghusl, they can perform Tayammum and observe their fast and their fast will be valid; but if such a Junub person intends to observe any fast other than the fasts of Ramadhan and the corresponding Quadha fasts, and intentionally avoids performing Ghusl or tayammum until the dawn Adhaan, their fast will be valid.

Issue 805: If a Junub person forgets to perform Ghusl in Ramadhan, and remembers that after one day, they must observe the Quadha fast for that day, and if they remember it after some days, they must observe the Quadha fasts of as many days as they are certain they have been Junub; for instance, if they do not know whether they have been Junub for three days or four, they must observe three Quadha fasts.

Issue 806: When a person has time neither for Ghusl nor for Tayammum on a Ramadhan night, their fast will be void if they make themselves Junub, and they must observe the Quadha and atone for it as well; but if they have time for Tyammum, and they make themselves Junub, their fast will be valid; however, they will be considered sinners.

Issue 807: If a woman becomes pure from menstruation or after-birth bleeding before the time of dawn Adhaan, but she intentionally avoids performing Ghusl, or if she is obliged to perform Tayammum and she intentionally avoids it, her fast will be void.

Issue 808: If a woman becomes pure from menstruation or after-birth bleeding before the dawn Adhaan, and she does not have enough time to perform Ghusl, she must perform Tayammum if it is the fast of Ramadhan or the Quadha of such a fast and her fast will be valid; and if the fast is a recommended one or an obligatory fast other than the fasts of Ramadhan, like those obliged based on a vow or atonement (kaffarah), her fast will be valid if she does not perform Tayammum, but as a recommended precaution, she should perform Tayammum.

Issue 809: One who has touched a dead body, is allowed to observe fast without performing the required Ghusl, and if they touch a dead body while fasting, their fast will not be void.

Q810: What must a person do if they become Junub while sleeping on a Ramdhan night and have little time before the down Adhaan to perform Ghusl?

A: When a person is short of time, they must perform Tyammum and their fast will be valid.

Q811: What is the case of a woman who begins menstruating before the sunset in Ramadhan?

A: Her fast will be void, even if she begins menstruating a moment before the sunset.

Q812: Before I got married, I had my menstrual period for three years, but I did not know that I had to perform Ghusl. I just used to take a shower and pronounce the remembrance of blessings for the Holy Prophet and His vicegerents (salawat) and observe the fasts. Now, is it a must for me to observe Quadha fasts and perform Quadha prayers for those years?

A: Although the showers apparently count as Ghusls as they have all had the intention of Qurbah (coming close to Allah) on the one hand, and on the other the ignorance about the issue has been due to an unintentional negligence and thus the obligation has been removed, it will be desirable if the Quadha prayers are gradually offered with the minimum of inconvenience as a precaution, and this is not a must; and as for the fasts, they have been valid and you do not need to observe the Quadha fasts.

Q813: What is the case of the fast of a person who becomes Junub before the dawn Adhaan of Ramadhan and realizes that in the afternoon on the same day?

A: The fast will be valid and the person does not need to observe the Quadha. What entails the observation of a Quadha fast and atonement is remaining in the state of Janabah intentionally; but if a person forgets to perform Ghusl before the dawn Adhaan, they must observe the Quadha.

Q814: What is the case of the fast if a person wakes up after the dawn Adhaan and finds out that they have become Junub while sleeping?

A: In such a case, the fast will not be void regardless of whether it is an obligatory fast or a recommended one and one must purify themselves for offering their dawn prayer; however, if a person is willing to go on a Quadha fast of Ramadhan, and they have time to observe it some other day, and provided that they are certain they became Junub before the dawn Adhaan, the fast will not be valid and they must observe it some other day.

Q815: Will one’s fast be valid if they make themselves Junub before the dawn Adhaan in Ramadhan, and intentionally avoid performing Ghusl, but after eating and before the Adhaan, while being short of time for performing Ghusl, they perform Taymmum and then after the Adhaan they perform the Ghusl?

A: Although they are considered sinners, their fast will be valid.
