The questioner : And if she became pure before dawn but did not perform the full ritual bath until after the call to the midday prayer, what is your ruling regarding that day?
The Shaykh : If she intended [to fast] before dawn, it is valid.
The questioner : There is a statement by some people that says: if she does not perform the full ritual bath before the call to the midday prayer, that day’s fast is not valid.
The Shaykh : No, it is valid because she became pure from menstruation. However, her prayer is not valid; rather, her prayer is not valid, just as it is not permissible for her husband to have intercourse with her until she performs the full ritual bath.
