Doubts with regards to wet dreams

Question

I do suffer from wawasas but Alhamdulilah I am ignoring them to the utmost level. However, some times after Fajr salah I sleep and later on waking I doubt if I had a wet dream or not. Sometimes I remember and do ghusl sometimes I don't remember the dream and see no discharge still I doubt throughout the day. What should I do?

Answer

If upon awakening you find that nothing had come out, then regard yourself as clean and do not pay attention to these doubts.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) 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.”
