i wan to know what to do after iktelam change the cloth or only wudu

Answer

In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

As-salāmu ‘alaykum wa-rahmatullāhi wa-barakātuh.

If a person has ihtilaam (a wet dream), ghusl (bathing) becomes compulsory on him; wudhu (ablution) will not suffice.[i]If a persons’ clothes are soiled with the impurity, one must remove the impurities by washing them or change ones clothes.

And Allah Ta’āla Knows Best

What should I do after a wet dream?

“A wet dream is an erotic dream that causes involuntary ejaculation of semen. A dream where one is seen masturbating is not necessarily a wet dream, even though one finds some degree of excitement on awakening.”
