حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ، حَدَّثَنَا اللَّيْثُ، عَنْ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، عَنْ أَبِي بَكْرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ الْحَارِثِ بْنِ هِشَامٍ، قَالَ : أَخْبَرَتْنِي عَائِشَةُ، وَأُمُّ سَلَمَةَ زَوْجَا النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ كَانَ " يُدْرِكُهُ الْفَجْرُ وَهُوَ جُنُبٌ مِنْ أَهْلِهِ ، ثُمَّ يَغْتَسِلُ فَيَصُومُ " . قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى : حَدِيثُ عَائِشَةَ ، وَأُمِّ سَلَمَةَ حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ ، وَالْعَمَلُ عَلَى هَذَا عِنْدَ أَكْثَرِ أَهْلِ الْعِلْمِ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَغَيْرِهِمْ ، وَهُوَ قَوْلُ سُفْيَانَ ، وَالشَّافِعِيِّ ، وَأَحْمَدَ ، وَإِسْحَاق ، وَقَدْ قَالَ قَوْمٌ مِنَ التَّابِعِينَ : إِذَا أَصْبَحَ جُنُبًا يَقْضِي ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمَ ، وَالْقَوْلُ الْأَوَّلُ أَصَحُّ .
´Abu Bakr Bin Abdur-Rahman bin Al-Harith bin Hashim said:` "Aishah and Umm Salamah, the wives of the Prophet informed me that the Prophet would find that it was Fajr while he was Junub from (relations with) his wives, then he would perform Ghusl and fast."

Brief Explanation
1؎ The hadith of Umm al-Mu’minin Aisha and Umm al-Mu’minin Umm Salamah radi Allahu anhuma is in contradiction to the hadith of Abu Hurairah «من أصبح جنبا فلا صوم له». The answer given is that the hadith of Aisha 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 radi Allahu anhu is alone, 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.
