Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, a woman fasted today to make up a day from Ramadan, but she was in a state of major ritual impurity and did not wake up for the Fajr prayer. Rather, she slept until Dhuhr, then performed the full ritual bath and prayed Dhuhr, but did not pray Fajr. Is her fast valid? And what is required of her regarding the prayer?

Answer:
Her fast is valid as long as she intended to fast before Fajr and slept; her fast is valid because ritual purity is not a condition for it. However, regarding the prayer, if she forgot Fajr and did not remember it until after she had prayed 'Asr, having prayed Dhuhr, then she prays Fajr after Dhuhr, and there is no harm in this, because the order is dropped due to forgetfulness. But if she was deliberate, it is obligatory for her to repeat it; it is obligatory for her to repeat the 'Asr prayer and the Dhuhr prayer so that they come after Fajr. Yes.
