The Fajr Prayer for One Who Wakes Up in a State of Major Ritual Impurity in Shared Housing

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. This questioner says: I am a worker at a school, and I live with forty people in one place, and we have only two bathrooms. He says: Sometimes I wake up in a state of major ritual impurity (janabah), so I am unable to perform the full ritual bath (ghusl) because of the shortage of restrooms, and I go out to work before the Fajr prayer. He says: How do I pray the Fajr prayer in that case?

The Shaykh:
What is he saying?

The questioner:
May Allah keep you safe. He says: I am a worker at a school, and I live with forty people in one place, and we have only two bathrooms in this place. He says: Sometimes I wake up in a state of major ritual impurity (janabah) and am unable to perform the full ritual bath (ghusl) because of the shortage of restrooms, and I go out to work before the Fajr prayer. He says: How do I pray the Fajr prayer in that case?

The Shaykh:
My brother, are there restrooms outside your housing? Are there restrooms in the town? Pass by one of them, perform the full ritual bath (ghusl), and pray. Yes.
