Practical Difficulty Of Fajr While In Janabah In Modern Life
Dr. Irfan, that feels like a very basic solution to a much deeper practical problem. I am already fully aware that sleeping early can solve this in principle. My exact question is: what about situations where modern responsibilities themselves do not practically allow this, such as returning home late from office, commute, gym, dinner, family responsibilities, and other necessary chores, which naturally push sleep closer to 11 PM or later? I feel like you are focusing more on repeating the general principles you have learned rather than actually engaging with the individual practical problem I am presenting. Also, I never said anything about shamefulness, so I am not sure how that assumption was made. My point was about privacy, not shame. Indirectly letting everyone know when you had intercourse with your wife feels indecent from a privacy perspective. Feelings like privacy, personal boundaries and even shame are also part of human nature, and Allah Himself has placed such sensitivities in people, so it feels strange that this concern is being dismissed so casually. Anyway, one of my actual questions is still unanswered: if someone wakes up for Fajr in a state of janabah and there is not enough time left for ghusl before Fajr time ends, is the person expected to miss Fajr and pray qaza later, or should they do a quick tayammum and pray within time? Also, thank you for responding to my queries. I appreciate that.
