Question 2207: Is it permissible to perform Tayammum instead of Ghusl due to time constraints before Fajr for fasting the next day?

Question

Peace be upon you. I fell asleep in a state of Janabah (impurity) with the intention of waking up to perform Ghusl before Fajr. I woke up two minutes before Fajr. Is it permissible for me to perform Tayammum instead of Ghusl due to the lack of time? I did this, and is my fast for this day valid? Thank you.

Answer 1

It is permissible to perform Tayammum instead of Ghusl in this situation due to the time constraints before Fajr.

Your fast for this day is valid.
