What is the ruling for someone who had a nocturnal emission during Ramadan, intended to perform ghusl before Fajr prayer, but accidentally fell asleep and woke up two minutes before the call to prayer? He was unaware of the ruling regarding tayammum in such a short time and performed ghusl a few minutes after Fajr. Is his ghusl and fast valid, or does he need to make up the fast?

Peace be upon you and God's mercy and blessings.
Grand Ayatollah Sayyid Sistani (may God protect him):
If his ignorance about the obligation of tayammum was due to a lack of understanding, then his fast is valid and he has no obligation.

Grand Ayatollah Sayyid Khamenei (may God protect him):
If he was certain that remaining in a state of janabah (ritual impurity) does not invalidate the fast, and he fasted based on that, then his fast is valid, although it is commendable to observe caution by making up the fast.
May you be successful in all good.
