617. Can I DELAY My Ghusl Till After Fajr?

 By Asma Bint Shameen

Yes if your menses ends before fajr, but there’s not enough time for you to make ghusl before Fajr, you can make the intention to fast and then take the purification bath later, after Fajr adhaan. 

But be sure to hurry up and not delay your ghusl too long because you don’t want to miss the Fajr prayer. 

Similarly, you can delay your purification bath after having intimacy with your husband until after fajr if there’s no time to take the ghusl earlier. 

But you should have your INTENTION to fast BEFORE Fajr. 

Shaikh Ibn Uthaymeen said:
“If she becomes pure just before dawn and fasts, her fast is valid even if she does not do ghusl until after dawn. This is like the one who is junub – if he intends to fast when he is junub and does not do ghusl until after dawn breaks, his fast is valid, because of the hadeeth of ‘Aa’ishah radhi Allaahu anhaa who said: The Prophet Sal Allaahu Alaiyhi wa Sallam used to wake up junub as the result of intercourse, not a wet dream, and he would fast in Ramadhaan.” (al-Bukhaari, Muslim)”

And Allaah knows best
