اُردوEn
حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ نُمَيْرٍ ، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ ، قَالَ : سَأَلْتُ أُمَّ سَلَمَةَ ، عَنِ الرَّجُلِ يُصْبِحُ وَهُوَ جُنُبٌ يُرِيدُ الصَّوْمَ ؟ ، قَالَتْ : " كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يُصْبِحُ جُنُبًا مِنَ الْوِقَاعِ لَا مِنِ احْتِلَامٍ ، ثُمَّ يَغْتَسِلُ وَيُتِمُّ صَوْمَهُ ".
´It was narrated that Nafi’ said:` “I asked Umm Salamah about a man who gets up in the morning when he is in a state of sexual impurity and wants to fast. She said: “The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) used to get up in the morning in a state of sexual impurity after having intercourse, not from a wet dream, then he would take a bath and complete his fast.’”

Explanation & Benefits
Hafiz Muhammad Ameen
183. Commentary:
➊ Janabah (major ritual impurity) can occur at any time due to a wet dream (ihtilam) or sexual intercourse (jima‘), therefore the Shari‘ah has provided leeway that if someone finds themselves in this situation and wishes to fast, but does not have time for a ritual bath (ghusl)—if they perform the bath, they will miss the pre-dawn meal (suhoor)—then it is permissible for them to begin the fast in this state and perform the bath later before the prayer. If someone experiences a wet dream during the fast, it does not affect the validity of the fast.
➋ The apparent meaning of «لم یمس ماء» can also be intended. That is, it is not absolute, because rinsing the mouth (madmadah) is not obligatory, and it is possible that this is a figurative expression for not performing ablution (wudu); this is the clear point.
