It is narrated from Qabeesah bin Dhu’ayb that he informed Sayyiduna Zaid bin Thabit (may Allah be pleased with him) about the fatwa of Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him), who said: Whoever enters the morning in the month of Ramadan in a state of major impurity (janabah) and has not performed ghusl, then he should not fast and it is obligatory upon him to make up (qada) that fast. Sayyiduna Zaid bin Thabit (may Allah be pleased with him) said: Indeed, Allah the Exalted has made fasting obligatory upon us just as He has made prayer obligatory upon us. So if the sun rises upon a person while he is asleep, should he leave the prayer? He (the narrator) says: I asked Sayyiduna Zaid (may Allah be pleased with him), so should such a person fast and also keep another fast (as qada for it)? Sayyiduna Zaid (may Allah be pleased with him) replied: Should he keep two fasts in place of one fast? (Rather, he should only keep the fast of that day.)
