Ghusl after a wet dream for a woman

· 13 Jumada I 1445 AH1 min readEnglish

Question

I asked you a question regarding wet dreams that to what extent should I check the discharge, after awakening after having a wet dream. Should I check with a tissue or with my hand inside the lips because there was sometimes discharge of a very small quantity which was only inside and not visible outside. You replied that if there is no discharge on the surface then you don't need to check further.

I just want to confirm that you mean the visible surface here? It means the outer genetalia which is apparent while the lips are normally closed. If dischrage does not come out or visible to that area, ghusl is not fard on me? Even if its inside?

Answer

The outer area where you have to wash for ghusl.

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

How is ghusl (the obligatory bath) performed?

“A1) One should refrain from making Tilaawat by the deceased before Ghusl is executed due to the deceased being in a state of Najaasat (due to death). A2) If one is not in the same room as the deceased, then one may make Tilaawat…”

What the Darul Iftas say
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.”
