Fasting voluntary fasts: A person intends to fast a day
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The first question of Fatwa No. ( 20970 )
Q1: In voluntary fasting, a person may intend to fast a day, but upon waking in the morning, he finds himself in a state of major ritual impurity. What is the ruling in this case? Does he complete his fast or not?
A1: If a person makes the intention to fast at the time when abstention becomes obligatory while he is in a state of major ritual impurity, his fast is valid. The basis for this is what al-Bukhari and Muslim narrated from Umm Salama (may Allah be pleased with her), who said:Muwatta Malik 18:11 . And success is from Allah, and may Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and his Companions.

used to get up in the morning junub from intercourse, not a dream, in Ramadan, and then he would fast
كان رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم يصبح جنبًا من جماع لا حلم، ثم لا يفطر ولا يقضي
