Wet dream

Question

I want to ask you if I have a dream in which I feel love for a guy or my fiance so this is a wet dream and I will have to do ghusl for this if I feel little wetness? Maybe this wetness is due to sweating or istinja.

Answer

If upon awakening you see wetness which is semen or you are doubting if it is semen, then in both cases ghusl is waajib.

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.”
