Fiqh-us-Sunnah - 3.137
Hadith 3.137.1
Fasting person can eat, drink, and perform sexual intercourse until fajr
If someone has food in his mouth when fajr is beginning, he should spit it out. If he is having intercourse (with his wife) at that time, he should immediately stop. If he does so, his fast will still be valid. If he continues in these actions at that time, he will have broken his fast.
Al-Bukhari and Muslim record from Aishah that the Prophet said: "Bilal makes the call to prayer while it is still night; therefore, eat and drink until Ibn Umm Maktum makes the call to prayer."
Hadith 3.137.A
It is permissible for the fasting person to be sexually defiled in the morning (that is, a person is not required to perform ghusl before fajr)
The hadith from 'Aishah on this point has already been mentioned.
Hadith 3.137.B
Menstruating or post-childbirth bleeding in women
If the blood of a menstruating woman or of a woman with post-childbirth bleeding stops during the night, she can delay ghusl until the morning and still fast but, she must perform ghusl before the morning prayer.
