Summary
Bathing for janabah after dawn in Ramadan is permissible according to the Shafi'i school and the majority of scholars, and the fast of a person who is in a state of janabah at dawn remains valid with no makeup fast required. The evidence is the hadith of Aisyah and Ummu Salamah that the Prophet SAW entered dawn in janabah, then bathed and fasted. Bathing before dawn is preferable, and bathing becomes obligatory without delay if postponing it would cause the Fajr prayer to be missed.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Hukum mandi junub selepas terbit fajar pada bulan ramadhan disebabkan persetubuhan pada malam hari atau sebelum waktu fajar adalah diharuskan dan ianya tidak membatalkan puasa.
