Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : A man slept on one of the nights of Ramadan in a state of major ritual impurity, and he woke up in the morning still in that state. What is his ruling? Does he complete his fast, or what?
The Shaykh : Why not? He performs the full ritual bath and fasts. Of course, he woke up, didn't he?
The questioner : He slept through the Fajr prayer and woke up in the morning.
The Shaykh : He woke up! If he had formed the intention the previous night, his fast is valid even if he became in a state of major ritual impurity. It is authentic from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him):, but the only thing is that in the early days of Islam, it was the case that one who became in a state of major ritual impurity did not fast.
The questioner : So he does not fast!
The Shaykh : And this is narrated from Abu Hurayrah, and then he retracted that.
The Shaykh : Why not? He performs the full ritual bath and fasts. Of course, he woke up, didn't he?
The questioner : He slept through the Fajr prayer and woke up in the morning.
The Shaykh : He woke up! If he had formed the intention the previous night, his fast is valid even if he became in a state of major ritual impurity. It is authentic from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him):
That he would become in a state of major ritual impurity while fasting, and then he would perform the full ritual bath.
