Jepkosgei was leading and looking comfortable when she was clipped from behind by Caster Semenya of South Africa around 200 meters from the finish and she tumbled to the track.
The Olympic silver medallist got up and jogged home last.
The Kenyan team appealed and a jury of appeals decided she had been "disadvantaged" by the action of Semenya and allowed to move into the semi-finals.
Semenya, who has the year’s fastest time, won the heat but injured her ankle in the incident.
"I don’t know what happened, I didn’t see anything because I was looking forward," she told reporters.
"I just saw the Kenyan fall down and I tried to jump over. I twisted my ankle in the process.
"At the moment I can’t feel my ankle and I need see the physio to check it. If it’s not good, I’ll quit."
Jepkosgei’s compatriot Pamela Jelimo, the Olympic champion, also got spiked but stayed on her feet as she went through safely to Monday’s semi-finals.
The final takes place on Wednesday.
