Ruling on one who sleeps in Ramadan in a state of major ritual impurity and wakes up after sunrise

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
From the Sultanate of Oman, the listener: Mubarak ibn Muhammad ibn Hamud al-Habsi. It appears he sent a message containing two questions. In one of his questions, he says: A man spent the night in a state of major ritual impurity and said, "I will wake up before the Fajr adhan," and this was in the month of Ramadan. However, he woke up after the sun had risen. What is required of him regarding his fast and his prayer? Does he owe an expiation? Or a substitute and making up that day? And when does he pray the missed Fajr prayer?
Answer: As long as he intended to fast, his fast is valid if he did not wake up until after the sun had risen. Even if he did not eat the pre-dawn meal, his fast is valid, and he is upon the intention of fasting. The pre-dawn meal is not a condition of fasting, but it is a recommended practice (sunnah). It is not a condition. He must hasten to pray when he wakes up. It is established that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) slept through the prayer on some of his journeys, he and his companions, and they did not wake up until the sun had struck them. So the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and his companions got up, performed the ablution for prayer, moved from their place a little, and he prayed with them immediately, (peace and blessings be upon him), just as he would pray at its proper time. He would pray with them, recite, raise his voice, call the adhan, call the iqamah, and pray the regular voluntary prayers (rawatib) just as they were prayed at their proper time, exactly the same. The fast is valid, and he does not owe an expiation, because this was not by his choice. Allah took his soul and then returned it to him, (Glorified and Exalted is He).
