Summary
The fast remains valid even if a person delays the obligatory bath until after dawn following intimacy with his wife during a Ramadan night, although doing so is disliked (makruh). It is recommended to hurry to bathe before dawn. The ruling relies on the hadith of Aisha that the Prophet SAW woke up in a state of janabah, then bathed and continued fasting, and this is the view of the majority of scholars.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Melewat-lewatkan mandi janabah selepas bersama isteri pada malam hari bulan Ramadan sehingga terbitnya fajar tidak menghalang sahnya puasa, sebaliknya makruh melakukan demikian itu.
