779. Abū Bakr bin ‘Abdur-Rahmān bin Al-Ḥārīṭ bin Hishām said: “‘Aishah and Umm Salamah, the wives of the Prophet ﷺ informed me that the Prophet ﷺ would find that it was Fajr while he was Junub from (relations with) his wives, then he would perform Ghusl and fast.” (Ṣaḥīḥ) Abū ‘Eisā said: The Ḥadīth of ‘Aishah and Umm Salamah is a Hasan Ṣaḥīḥ Ḥadīth. This is acted upon according to most of the people of knowledge among the Companions of the Prophet ﷺ and others. It is the view of Sufyān, Ash-Shāfi'i, Aḥmad, and Ishāq. Some people among the Tābi'īn have said that when one awakens in the morning in a state of sexual impurity then he is to make up that day. But the first view is more correct.

٧٧٩ - حَدَّثَنَا ‌قُتَيْبَةُ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا ‌اللَّيْثُ، عَنِ ‌ابْنِ شِهَابٍ ، عَنْ ‌أَبِي بَكْرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ الْحَارِثِ بْنِ هِشَامٍ قَالَ: أَخْبَرَتْنِي ‌عَائِشَةُ ‌وَأُمُّ سَلَمَةَ زَوْجَا النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ «كَانَ يُدْرِكُهُ الْفَجْرُ وَهُوَ جُنُبٌ» مِنْ أَهْلِهِ ثُمَّ يَغْتَسِلُ فَيَصُومُ. حَدِيثُ عَائِشَةَ وَأُمِّ سَلَمَةَ حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ. وَالْعَمَلُ عَلَى هَذَا عِنْدَ أَكْثَرِ أَهْلِ الْعِلْمِ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَغَيْرِهِمْ، وَهُوَ قَوْلُ سُفْيَانَ وَالشَّافِعِيِّ وَأَحْمَدَ وَإِسْحَاقَ. وَقَدْ قَالَ قَوْمٌ مِنَ التَّابِعِينَ: إِذَا أَصْبَحَ جُنُبًا يَقْضِي ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمَ. وَالْقَوْلُ الْأَوَّلُ أَصَحُّ.

Commentary

If a person has sexual intercourse with his wife and takes the Sahūr meal while in state of being sexually impure, but he takes a bath for the morning prayer, after the dawn, according to the Four A'immah and the majority of scholars the sexual impurity will not affect the fast.
