Ghusal after a wet dream

· 30 Jumada I 1440 AH1 min readEnglish

Question

I was dreaming and felt this rush of feeling. I didnt visually see someone orgasm in my dream, and also I’m not sure if this was an orgasm or not, because of my doubts, is ghusl obligatory?

Answer

Upon awakening if you found wetness on your clothing, then ghusal is compulsory upon you.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

Q: Discharge of various sizes and amounts comes out of women frequently. If I dont know if the wetness I see is regular discharge or wetness from my dream, what do I do?

A: Just experiencing an orgasm without any emission does not make ghusl compulsory.

If there are symptoms and signs of it being mani then take ghusl.

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.”
