Peace be upon you and God's mercy and blessings.
Grand Ayatollah Sayyid Sistani (may God protect him):
Fasting is not invalidated by deliberately remaining in a state of janabah outside of Ramadan and its make-up days.

Grand Ayatollah Sayyid Khamenei (may God protect him):
Deliberately remaining in a state of janabah until dawn is only one of the invalidators during Ramadan and its make-up days; in other types of fasting, remaining in a state of janabah until dawn does not harm the fast.
