Do girls experience wet dreams?

Question

Do girls also experience the same problem that boys experience at night?

Answer

If you are referring to ihtilaam (a wet dream), then this is not confined to men, women also experience it.

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.”
