Fasting Without Purity

Question
Is purity (ritual washing after menstruation) a condition for the validity of fasting, knowing that I refrained from food with the intention of fasting?
Answer
I say, and with God's help: Since you purified yourself before dawn with enough time to perform the full ablution, your fast for this day is valid even if you did not perform the ablution, but you are required to do so for prayer, and God knows best.
