Fasting: Delaying Ghusl Until After Noon in Ramadan — Is the Fast Valid?

English:

Question #774:

During the month of Ramadan, a person wakes up before morning adhān and realises that he is junub. Then, he sleeps again to rise some time after sunrise. He performs the ghusl only after the noon adhān, and says the noon and afternoon prayers. What is the ruling regarding his fast on that day?

Answer #774:

In the given case, which is the first sleep, his fasting is correct. However, if he sleeps again and does not wake up before fajr, he should fast again.
