Question

I have a question regarding an incident happened with me.Alhamdullah i offer 5 times prayer daily, hasb-e-mamul i went for Fajar salah, i came back home and read Surah Yaseen and also some part of Quraan. but after which i found that i had a wet dream last night as my pants had marks.

Please let me know what is to be done, this was not intentional but do i have to repeat the salah, and if there is a kaffarah on me what it would it be.

Answer

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

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

It is mandatory for you to repeat the salah that was prayed whilst you were in the state of janabah (ritual impurity).[1]

There is no kaffarah. However, you should do istighfar.

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.”
