Q: During the month of Ramadan, last year, the janabah ghusl had become binding
upon me during sahar (2-3 hour period preceding fajr adhan) one night; on waking
up during sahar – in a state of janabah – I had decided to wait until the time
for ghuslating becomes limited thus enabling me to tayammumate, instead of
ghuslating. However, after falling asleep I hadn’t woken up till after the fajr
adhan. What is my duty?
A: Although you had intended to perform your duty during the limited time
(preceding the fajr adhan), nevertheless the compensatory fast for that day
remains binding upon you. Note that had tayammum been your canonical duty and
you had, in fact, intended to carry it out before fajr – albeit unsuccessful due
to having fallen asleep – the fast would have been deemed valid due to the
nature of your sleep i.e. it being termed your first sleep (post-janabah).
