اُردوEn
حَدَّثَنَا خَضِرُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْمَرْزُبَانِ الْبَغْدَادِيُّ ، حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ يَحْيَى بْنِ سَعِيدٍ الْقَطَّانُ ، حَدَّثَنَا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ عُمَرَ ، حَدَّثَنَا مَالِكِ بْنُ مِغْوَلٍ ، عَنِ الْحَكَمِ بْنِ عُتَيْبَةَ ، عَنْ أَبِي بَكْرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ الْحَارِثِ بْنِ هِشَامٍ ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا ، قَالَتْ : كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ "يَخْرُجُ إِلَى صَلاةِ الْغَدَاةِ وَرَأْسُهُ يَقْطُرُ مِنَ الْغُسْلِ ، ثُمَّ يُصْبِحُ صَائِمًا "، لَمْ يَرْوِهِ عَنْ مَالِكِ بْنِ مِغْوَلِ ، إِلا عُثْمَانُ
Sayyida Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) says that when the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) would go out for the morning prayer, drops would be dripping from his head due to ghusl, while he was fasting.

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.
