Fasting After Purification Without Ghusl
I have purified from menstruation and intended to fast, but I did not perform ghusl due to the lack of shampoo. Is the fast valid? Can I delay bathing until Maghrib until soap and shampoo are available?
Answer
I say, and with God's help: Since you became pure before dawn with enough time to perform the full ablution, your fast for this day is valid even if you did not perform the full ablution. However, you are required to perform the full ablution for the prayer, and the lack of shampoo is not an excuse to delay the full ablution and prayer, as it can be done with water only. And God knows best.
