اُردوEn
حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنِي مَالِكٌ ، عَنْ سُمَيٍّ مَوْلَى أَبِي بَكْرِ بنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بنِ الحَارِثِ بْنِ هِشَامِ بْنِ المُغِيرَةِ ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ بَكْرِ بْنَ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ : " كُنْتُ أَنَا وَأَبِي فَذَهَبْتُ مَعَهُ حَتَّى دَخَلْنَا عَلَى عَائِشَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا ، قَالَتْ : أَشْهَدُ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِنْ كَانَ لَيُصْبِحُ جُنُبًا مِنْ جِمَاعٍ ، غَيْرِ احْتِلَامٍ ، ثُمَّ يَصُومُهُ " .
Narrated Abu Bakr bin `Abdur-Rahman: My father and I went to `Aisha and she said, "I testify that Allah's Apostle at times used to get up in the morning in a state of Janaba from sexual intercourse, not from a wet dream and then he would fast that day."

Explanation & Benefits
Shaykh Dr. Abdur Rahman Freywai
English Commentary:
1:
The hadith of Umm al-Mu’minin A’ishah and Umm al-Mu’minin Umm Salamah (radi Allahu anhuma) is in opposition to the hadith of Abu Hurairah: “Whoever enters the morning in a state of major ritual impurity (junub), then there is no fast for him.”
The answer given is that the hadith of A’ishah and Umm Salamah is given preference over the hadith of Abu Hurairah because both of them are among the wives of the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam), and wives are more knowledgeable about the conditions of their husbands.
Secondly, Abu Hurairah is alone (in narrating), while these are two, and the narration of two is given preference over the narration of one.

Benefits and Issues:
If a person begins the fast in a state of major ritual impurity (janabah) during the early hours of true dawn (fajr sadiq), there is no harm in this, provided that he performs the ritual bath (ghusl) in due time and joins the prayer. However, without a valid Shar‘i excuse, deliberately prolonging this state is impermissible and is considered a defect in the fast.
This ruling applies equally to both men and women.
