اُردوEn
حَدَّثَنَا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْحَجَّاجِ الأَنْصَارِيُّ حِمَّصَةَ ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُعَاوِيَةَ الْجُمَحِيُّ ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ يَعْنِي ابْنَ زَيْدٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا أَيُّوبٌ ، عَنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ الرِّشْكِ ، عَنْ مُعَاذٍ ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا ، أَنّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ " كَانَ يُصْبِحُ جُنُبًا مِنْ غَيْرِ احْتِلامٍ ، ثُمَّ يَغْتَسِلُ ، وَيَصُومُ "، لَمْ يَرْوِهِ عَنْ أَيُّوبَ ، إِلا حَمَّادٌ ، تَفَرَّدَ بِهِ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُعَاوِيَةَ
Sayyida Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) says: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) would enter the morning in a state of major ritual impurity without a wet dream, then he would perform ghusl (ritual bath) and observe the fast.

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.
