Peace be upon you, I actually have three questions: 1. I was unaware that if someone has a wet dream before Fajr and delays the ghusl until after sunrise, their fast is invalid. What is the ruling regarding my ignorance? Is my fast truly invalid? 2. If a person cannot perform ghusl before Fajr due to hardship, is tayammum sufficient? If it is sufficient, must they change clothes that have become impure? 3. Does delaying the Fajr prayer until after Dhuhr invalidate the fast? May you be blessed.

And peace and mercy of Allah be upon you.
Grand Ayatollah Sayyid Khamenei and Grand Ayatollah Sayyid Sistani (may Allah protect them):
1. You can find the answer to your question in Question 12431.
2. If performing ghusl before Fajr causes you harm or severe hardship, tayammum is permissible in this case; otherwise, you must perform ghusl. However, merely being at a guest's house or having family with you does not always put you in a state of hardship.
3. It is not permissible to pray in impure clothing.
4. It does not invalidate the fast.
May you be successful in all good.
