Fasting: Remaining Junub at Fajr: Is the Fast Still Valid?

English:

Question #768:

If one remains junub (because of some difficulty) until the morning adhān, can he/she fast the following day?

Answer #768:

There is no problem if one is performing a fast other than that of Ramadan or its qaḍā’. However, while performing Ramadan fast or its qaḍā’, if one has a lawful excuse for not performing ghusl, then it is obligatory to perform tayammum. And if he does not perform tayammum either, the fast is invalid. Of course, in the month of Ramadan, one should refrain from fast invalidators until the maghrib adhān.
