Asalaamu Alaikum,
My question is regarding the validity of the fasts. If a person enters the state of janabah and remains in that state for a very long time due to a lack of knowledge regarding the ghusl, what would become of his fasts that he did during Ramadan? My understanding is that the prayers would all need to be renewed but would the fasts be considered valid (and I use the term valid here loosely). If possible I'm really looking for the Shafi view on this matter...
JazakAllah Khair.
