Bathing to remove major ritual impurity after the dawn prayer

Question:
The questioner asks: What is the ruling on bathing to remove major ritual impurity after the dawn prayer?

Answer:
There is nothing wrong with that. It is permissible for a person to intend to fast while in a state of major ritual impurity, and then bathe after the dawn prayer. This is something that happened to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him); he would sometimes wake up in a state of major ritual impurity, then fast, and then bathe. If a menstruating woman becomes pure before the dawn prayer, she abstains and fasts, and bathes after the dawn prayer, because ritual purity is not a condition for fasting. Yes.
