After having wet dreams, is it obligatory to wash the semen that came on the bed? How about after I dry it and a couple of hours pass, can I rest on my bed without getting my clothes impure?

Question

I have been sleeping on my bed for a long time now. Does this mean that all my prayers did not count?

Answer

If the semen on the bed is dry, you can rest on the bed. The dry semen does not make the body or clothes impure.

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.”
