Is fasting valid if the ritual bath for menstruation is delayed until after the dawn prayer?

Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A woman became pure from menstruation before the adhan for Fajr, but she did not perform the ghusl until after the adhan. Is her fast valid?

Answer:
Yes, the ritual bath is not a condition for fasting. The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) would become pure in the morning while in a state of major ritual impurity and fast, then perform the ghusl after Fajr, after he had fasted. So, purity is not a condition for fasting. It is permissible for a person to intend to fast while in a state of ritual impurity. Yes.
