The Intention to Fast After Fajr for Those Who Became Pure Before It

Question
A woman slept at two o'clock in the morning and did not become pure until after Fajr, and she had already become pure. Can she fast this day?
Answer
I say, and with God's help: It appears that you became pure before dawn with enough time for ablution and the intention to fast. Therefore, you must fast, and your intention to fast Ramadan is valid from after dawn until the time of the major forenoon, which is approximately 45 minutes before noon. And God knows best.
